1" Joe Murray Z-Link fork

[rismtb]

I am trying to determine some info on this fork. Link is aluminum with an interesting double spring that sat between the elastomer bumpers for travel. It is stamped Spinner on the 1" steerer and 93 CM/TG
I am wounding if they were trying to solve the shortcomings of the design before scraping into the ocean

and kona changed the name to z-link. cool fork. what are your plans for it?

The general leading link, top spring layout has been knocking around for a century among bikes and motorbikes.

This is the same fork as the Kona Future Shock...The name was changed after litigation threats from Specialized because of their own Future Shock telescopic fork trade name (which the are still using).

All the best,
