Hello, etc

Those forks seem to be as good as those on my 5.2 as the forks on mine will be being trashed due to them having little bounce and very slow on the rebound so i will replace them with some straight rigids as i plan on just using mine for light trails and some road riding .

I doubt by the sound of things that your forks will cope very much at all on the real trails so be careful or they'll catch you out and leave you with more than you bargained for and i suppose the ride back up due to the lack of a working chair lift will test the forks under continuous pressure which will probably confirm just how naff those forks really are and good luck on ebay as theirs got to be a worthwhile bargain to be had somewhere on there .

Be careful putting pics up like that as you'll create some serious rage created by very envious members :mrgreen: ..

Rode up to work today, best I can say is that the fork wasn't *too* bad if you remain in the saddle and totally unload it. However, "danceuse" == "pogo stick". At lunchtime I did a couple of kilometers of trails, downhill was OK until hitting any sort of ripples, at which point the front end went crazy, requiring hard braking to keep it effectively rigid.

On the upside, it didn't blow its seals out

Long story short, it's just about rideable as is, we'll see what happens if I graft a rigid fork on, and I'm looking for an XC700 or similar.

Not gonna make any friends with these, then.

It certainly looks the business out in the sun and you were darn lucky you weren't ditched with those forks as they seem to be well past their sell by date ..
