What do you guys think of this fork? I currently riding a Heckler with a Tora 302 on the front which is junk. too soft for my weight...and it does the rest of the bike an injustice. definitely the weak point on the rig.

jenson has 'em on sale for 197. that is extremely cheap...wonder if it is worth it to swap them or better to just wait a bit and get a Fox Float?

It is sooooooo good Jeff!

Going from an ancient hardtail set up for East coast XC to the Heckler, well, there is simply no comparison.

Really my only complaint is the front shock...springy and squishy and no preload, but maybe it just feels crappy because the frame and the dhx5.0 work so well!

A few more miles under my belt and I will be ready to take a trip down south and take you up on those ride options...trade bikes for a few miles! see what this new fangled 29er thing is all about.
