HUMMERTM (Jan 7, 2009 at 0:33)

they do but not in their freeride genre they got the 36 which pisses oil much more often then the mzs go wrong but on the other hand the fox rc40 is 10% better than the 888's

Marz is only better for the 160-203mm range of freeride forks. But the Fox Van 32 are freaking sweet for a FR hardtail, But if my 66 does this, i am getting a 40...

HUMMERTM (Jan 8, 2009 at 0:03)

the fox van 32 is their xc model you mean 36 ? but yh those forks up there hav had too many problems this year

Pitcrew (Jan 8, 2009 at 3:34)

Nope, i mean the 32 Vanilla RLC. Mines an 07 and ive done alot more than just xc with it. Check out it out, its under the Haros album. Ive dont alot to that fork, and it hasnt broken or done anything screwy.

+ 0

HUMMERTM (Jan 8, 2009 at 4:18)

thyre too low too do propa freeride on theyre about 100mm ive seen more then three come in with oil pissing out but other then that theyre really good forks

+ 0

Pitcrew (Jan 8, 2009 at 11:33)

140mm. 5.5in of travel. More than enough if your smooth at a resort or making new trails to test. Mine only had a leak late last summer. The fork is from early 07.

HUMMERTM (Jan 8, 2009 at 12:02)

Oh yh the vans are 140 mm but yh the seals on fox forks are crap i think once you get them serviced theyre mint though

Pitcrew (Jan 8, 2009 at 13:24)

Its going out to get Push'd, was gonna get Enduro seals, but decided to just get it Push'd cause i have 10% off. (pretty much getting it revalved, precision seals, and better oil)
