Hi -- I've ordered a pair of these for a project I'm about to start on (thank you credit card). Have you been happy with them? I'm really hoping they're good quality!

The fact they are a major copy of project 2's and titanium was the main temptation not had anything titanium apart from bolts and axles so why not. Made a nice 105g weight saving too.
As i suspected they look great on the bike. Allot of research went in before buying but not allot of info was found on this fork inperticular. The other components they do seem fairly well rated and I only ride road so they wont get much stick. Hopefully i will get a proper ride in on them in the next few days.
Fitted mmm lovely

Looks lovely, I used to have a 98 cindercone that was built as a jump bike (!!). Bought back some memories looking at this.

It did really well from memory, it was the old manitou forks that gave up quickly! I was gutted when it got nicked.

moonlite An engineering place will be able to do it. We just spum slow and used a file its not too much. it might just have been my ones, also the it might have partly been the Hope race as the inside edge is part chamfered and it has an expanding slot so it doesnt fit mega tight anyway.
sectionate gutted for you mate.

Made a bit of cash over Christmas so it was time to get the new wheels built up.
NOS red Mavic 517 rims and Shimano XTR M950 Hubs Laced with Sapim CX Ray bladed spokes with the front radial laced because I like the look.
The came out lighter than my old red sun rimmed wheels so well chuffed.
Next up will be servicing the hubs before fitting.
Weights
Built, I really like them. Weights are without qr’s
