Why no love for...

I've got a set of XMO in the blue.
Excellent fork
Light, pretty stiff for the period, good travel and did I say light?

If all of this is true then there is certainly love for the rst forks here!

Shhh you've just bumped up the ebay price of RST forks

My Outpost Trail came with RSTs 13 years ago, never had em apart (tut tut) still work perfectly well.

the internals are the same as Englund sold as an upgrade for £600 Judys....

 

[fun at fiftyish]

I run a pair of "Hi fives" on my Haro escape,triple clamps and air damped with 120mm plus travel and very light,after replacing the internal spacer with a spring/elastomer stack and a good clean and lube they work really well,,,some sticktion on small bumps but very plush and never managed to bottom them out despite trying very hard!
I only bought them as a temporary fix,as the name put me off. but can see no reason to change them,if another pair came up at the right price I would snatch them up pronto,,,
Did I mention they cost me a massive £10 ..good old Retrobike for sale section.

I got 50 quid for the pair of hi five triples that some idiot had stuck on the rts before I got it.

I had several pairs of mozo pro 3.5s. a good fork, remove mcu/spring stack and replace with coils (speed springs, i had). worked well and, increased damping speed and rebound by adjusting the o rings on the push rods. The internals are all metal, on some forks the push rods and other parts are plastic!

If you read the sus history.When everyone else was focusing on tech advancements and increasing travel RST was focusing on price
They set their own market place :?

I had the XMO too and found it to be excellent.Surprisingly plush given what was available at the time :?
