I recently swapped my 2006 era Rock Shox Recon forks, the first of these kind and what appears to be a change in width of Rock Shox forks from this period.
I upgraded to SID, they're only a year older than my previously owned Recon but the cosmetic changes are so obtuse one would think they're pre-millenia in design! This seems apparent on all the other Rock Shox models; no V brake bosses and Rock Shox also changed their look graphically, i like the design of the Rock Shox range of today but i prefer the classic Rock Shox style.
The SIDs seem to flex more, i'm unsure how i'll adjust to the trails having ridden forks of wider profile for so long! Were all suspension forks this narrow? Why did Rock Shox suddenly change their image?
