Well I went and did it today ordered my Transition trailer or Park
with Manipoo gold fork and transition OEM specc components single speed should be here early Feb waiting for me after holiday road trip

Im not normally a manipoo fan but was keen to try it since its fairly basic with no spv crap and reportardly the DJ crowd rate it, Im a RS Marz man normally, and the Argyle apealed but Im gonna try the manipoo anyways, Im begging for some punishment hence the DJ bike

Im really looking forward to this thing taking me jumps and manuals to the next level:eekster: whatever that is

Ordered up the frame in baby blue fork in white, happy with rest of comps as its for abuse not bling or trick, but thought this combo is different to anything in my stable at pres, man I can't wait ahh a steel frame again, I feel more like a kid every day just a 30ish + one

Why the manitou hatred??? From what I hear its a great fork. Wayyyyyy better than any of the marz dj boat anchors thats for sure.

No hatred dude thats why Im trying it I have had good reports from other DJs its the hot ticket

Ive not like SPV Manitous in past but always keep an open mind everyting gets improved over time:thumbsup:

Argh just had a call from LBS apparently I can't get a manitou gold at all manitou are having issues supply springs whatever that means:madman::madman:

So they let me down again and I haven't even gotten the fork argghh

Im a little bummed I was looking fwd to trying it out

So now im going with the cheaper option though the fork is getting rave reviews a white Argyle:skep:


Dems da breaks manitous loss:eekster:

I really didnt care for the argyle. just way too over hyped. it had the same adjustments as my stance...none ! also weighs the same as the gold labels. I might give one a shot if the gold label series II for 2007 isnt too expencive. I just didnt really like the feel as much as something like a goldlabel. just look around for a 2006 goldlabel.

The bottom of the barrel Argyle still has preload and rebound. As you move up, you can adjust air pressure, floodgate, compression, rebound, and lockout.

So this leads me to believe that you don't know what you're talking about, or that you've never ridden an Argyle.

The Gold Label is a terrifc fork though. The Argyle is also a strong performer though a little on the tall side.

dont be hatin will

I didnt know thats whare the adjustments were. I'm used to a simple blue rebound knob as my only adjustment down there

but yes, I've ridden the argyle ...a lot.

Well thats why I a little bummed I wanted the gold label but it can't be supplied simple manitou can't deliver otherwise it is what I wanted Im not getting the bottom argle but the middle one I don't want air, oh well I guess I'll find out if its any good or not

According to Rock Shox's spec on their website, it's 5mm taller than a Dirt Jumper.
