I'm building up my Cannondale Judge and am trying to decide on a fork. Which one do you like???

maxwell · 11-26-2007, 08:10 AM

I just put the Totem Coil on my Stinky D, and it feels REAL good!
I had the Marz 66 Light ETA on it before, and I had no complaints about it either.

So, NEW Rock Shox, or Marzocchi, and I'd say your safe!

Thanks guys, I'm a little on the rotund side, maybe a little stout. Can these single crowns handle the abuse?? I rode JfromLV's fox 40 and I liked it. Anybody have something used out there for sale?

If the fork can handle Crash...you are probably safe

Flawless. I have two of them. They look absolutely bad ass AND they work brilliantly. I have one set at 6" and another at 8". Oh yeah, they are light, too.

I recommend the new '08 40 Mark has hanging on the wall. Pull out the credit card!

Might have a 40 for sale real soon(hopefully).

I am a big guy as well and I have a fox talas and am pretty happy with it so far.

40 rc2 here... can't wait to get out and see what it can do

If you don't mind the weight, the Zoke 66RC2x is nice after it gets broken in and you taylor the oil heights to your needs. Stiff, supple, and predictable.

If you want to shed a little weight, the Fox Van36RC2 is a really nice fork too. Just be sure to get an 07 or later. I went with this fork when I changed bikes (sold the Zoke with the other bike) and I'm pretty happy with it. I'm a fatass, so I blow through travel a little quicker, and not being able to adjust oil volume to compensate is different. But if you get the right spring setup, you should be able to get it dialed in pretty well. I will say that while the travel indicator on the stancion indicates I,ve bottomed the fork out, I've never felt a harsh bottom out event. Plus the bottom out resistance rate at end of travel can be changed by Fox depending upon your needs.

Supposedly the Totems are nice too, but since I haven't ridden one, I couldn't tell you.

Lots of good options out there these days, and if you can pick up leftover 07 stuff, you can probably find some pretty good deals.

If you are looking for a decent fork on the budget side I have a Rock Shox Domain (180 mm) that I will part with. Single crown but pretty burly.
