Fork Choices for Zion (26") Frame SS

I have a Reba Team (or was that a Race? Damned memory...). It's adjustable from 85 mm to 115 mm (or 125 mm? damned memory again...), and I always run it at 85 mm on my Surly 1x1. This fork has been changing my opinion about Rock Shox products - it's been a really nice fork.

 

daddy wants this fork BAD

 

Ya, I'll sell you the carbon rigid I just took off my SS.

 

Of all the forks, the main reason I chose this 85 mm fork over the other forks was that was the only black one. Good reasoning, eh?

 

nothing wrong with that lee...i want a white fork to match the white frame

 

I see a Fox F80 in your future! I so wish that came in black.

 

I had the grey/silver one when the white came out.. Wished at the time I'd had one of those, but either way it'd be rigid right now, so it's just as well

 

Now you got me interested.

 

rigid forks aren't all that bad... i put a kona 29er rigid fork on my 26" bike since i wanted a longer a-c on the fork. it is surprisingly smooth considering, but really rocky/gnarly trails tend to beat you up a bit.

i believe the fork was on a 26er

 

I really like mine on the SS. Climbing is sooo much nicer.

 

Oh so true...but going downhill sucks sooo much

 

Why do you think we have arms and legs?

:lol:

I've tried to be a little more loose descending, but it can be jarring!

I tried to do the little SJT jump.. "Ouch!"

 

My joints aren't as good as they used to be. I used to run a rigid fork on my SS for a couple years (don't remember any SJT jumps that were a problem, though), but after my wrist injury, I went to a suspended fork and haven't gone back (partially because I bent my Surly rigid fork - I guess they're not very strong).

 

thanks for the new sig! :lol:

 

Thanks for the mis-quote :lol:

 

no prob! i just managed to get the meat of it.... no pun intended of course

 

it's these dam young kids Lee

 

DeeZee say

Roll that bike the way it is. Then if you really love SS'ing sell it a get a big hoop bike:bang:

 

for sure Doug, i dont have the $$ to do it now anyway...and riding on a heavy bike will only make me stronger right!

 

Thanks for the sig
