Whilst completing the black run of our newly completed 'wildcats' trail here in the highlands of scotland, i have noticed a slight judder in the forks when front braking (H/S fine, hubs fine - must be the forks!). My forks, a set of Fox Vanilla 125 RCL's, are due for a service and I was wondering weather to stump up the cash and go for a 'push' or just a general service.

I know you all rave about the Push modification, but as it cost approx $250 over here in the UK, so will the modification be worth it?. I ride aggressive XC, small drops - nothing to big.....

Just to add, its its the first time the 5-spot saw some 'real action' on the run and it delivered...the best frame on the planet, period!...what does mbr magazine know?

cheers

If you're going to keep the fork for a while, the PUSH mods are worth it. But at this juncture, you may wish to look around at other options like the RS Revelation or Pike.

thanks for that, just been looking through the 'what fork for a 5-spot' threads, you may be right.
cheers

I agree...Matter o fact, I just sold my '04 PUSH'd TALAS RLC and replaced it with a Pike. The PUSH'd RLC has better damping but I need a longer fork since I installed the 5.75" PUSH rockers.

I think what's causing the "juddering" is that you have an entire SET of FORKS attached to your 5 spot. One fork per bicycle please.

thats where I've been going wrong, I thought more forks = better suspension. Does this mean I need to get rid of the 3 shocks I have installed?
