a totem would look so nice on that!

a fox 36 would look great too like the guy above.

the lyric maybe?

Yeah I'm seriously thinking about the VAN, but I'm not sure what I'll take in the end.

I've build it up a year ago. Sweetest bike ever. Can do whatever. But I swapped the Rippa stem for a Thomson 4X. Now I'm considering a new fork. Any thoughts on that? I don't want a Totem for sure, seems too overkill. I like the 66 rc2x 170 but it's getting old and it's heavy, so I was thinking VAN rc2 or Lyrik U-Turn. Suggestions?

[/Quote]Lyrik would be sweet.

toll: why do U advise me to go for the Lyrik, if U got exactly the same fork as I do now(except of the color)? Wink Smile

has someone here tried the SX trail 08 with a 66 rc2x 170 and with a FOX VAN as well? I've heard the 66 is tougher, but the VAN is smoother. Don't know if I should keep mine or get the Fox. But then again if I sell the 66 now, I still can get decent money for it + I can get a 09 VAN rc2 for 565€, what I believe is a nice deal.

Chasefreeride37 has a Lyrik & swears by it & I was using what his recommendation to & transfering it to you. I also was a Lyrik for my MW.
