$130.00 | | Purchased At: | friend | | Strengths: | plush with no air, good for street with air. easy to adjust | | Weaknesses: | heavy | | Similar Products Used: | dj3, exr pro | | Bike Setup: | norco rival hardtail, single speeded, bb5 brakes, krad tires, ditchwitch rims | | Bottom Line: | very good fork for the money. top out can be fixed by removing air and then repumping it. bottom out can be fixed by adding air or preload. absorbs street like crazy. aside from weight, by far worth my money. :) | Value Rating: Overall Rating: |

preload ajuster is always loose but theres nothing lock tight cant fix. preload ajust never ajusted jack@#!t. | | Similar Products Used: | rock shox pike 409(fully sick bro), manitou stance 100mm (gay), manitou gold lable (expensive), rock shox argyle 409(superb)NOTE: i only own one of these forks | | Bike Setup: | rock shox argles 409, Avid code hydro brakes, e-thirteen guides and supercharger bash guard, truvativ holzfeller OCT crank set/gigapipe team DH bb, DMR V12 pedals, easton havoc stem, easton ea70, 8 gears on a sram x-o derailleur/shifter, | | Bottom Line: | if you dont have much 2 spend on forks i highly recommend these fork, other wise buy rockys or somthing they are worth the extra cash, i know i wont go back to these forks as they are just plain dangerous because the crown is so weak, apart from that they where quite a nice feeling fork but dont push them or you will have to spend some cash to get a new pair forks, and as we all know mountain bikes are more expensive than there big brothers the motos, mountain bikes are to dam expensive.

$1.00 | | Purchased At: | It was on my custom build bike | | Strengths: | Well this is my opinion :
I think its a nice fork to start riding with.
Its not to heavy.
You can make it as plushy as you want.
Good stuff for a cheap price. | | Weaknesses: | No 20mm axel :(
The rebound sucks.
Beginner fork.
It snaps easy.
Not enough adjusting pb's.
Bad quality stickers. | | Similar Products Used: | -Dirt jumper 3 with Qr
-Orderd a dj 3 with 20mm axle (h) | | Bike Setup: | Le toy 4 red frame , shimano saint crankx , singlespeed, sun single tracks , dirt jumper 3 with axle | | Bottom Line: | I think its a nice beginner fork for a small amount of cash :)
The quality is good enough for a beginner so if you're looking for a good starting fork that isnt to heavy and for a small budget => TAKE THIS ONE !! | | Value Rating:Overall Rating: |
