So how is that fork? Its made for xc marathons isn't it? Wouldn't it get destroyed doing dirt jumps and street???

dialeddobermann (Mar 6, 2011 at 14:02)

yes. a light weight xc fork. and surprisingly, no. i do lots of foot jams, rough gaps tons of big stair sets to stairs and to flat and i have yet to crank, snap, bend or damage it in any way. it also feels really nice with 155-165 psi and a heavier (like 10wt) oil. i like it more than my argyle. not to mention it weighs 2.94 lbs. i love it, but next time i am going to get a 20mm axle 100mm minute or just go rigid because this is kind of flexy when doing slow trials like tricks.

How big of sets are we talking here 10+ stair range?

dialeddobermann (Apr 1, 2011 at 9:37)

biggest to flat -11

biggest stair to stair, 9 to 26 with a 3 ft gap

i really woudent recommend it though. As exploited in forums i weigh like 120lbs, and i still blow through the travel is a second. However, it would be a great, light fork for something like a pumptrack bike (the previous owner bought it mainly for this use). i realy dont know why i havent broken it yet, but with all the toe jams and FJTwhips, and just overall more strenuous in general tricks, the flex is beginning to get to me. I cant wait to go rigid.

Do you spin them or just huck them, cause spinning sets is real hard on 9mm
and it's k I would never run a 9mm on a bike that wasn't ment for xc only

tweaks, moto whips and mabey an x up on smaller stuff but no 180s or 3s. that scares the shit out of me, hell even when i try and 180 off a curb i get scared. lol . idk mabey its just the landing backwards thing that scares me

26street-swaagg (Apr 1, 2011 at 11:40)

landing backwards is a trip, biggest set I 180d was 6 but i've 360d an 8 set lol

dialeddobermann (Apr 1, 2011 at 11:43)

odd... well whenever i 180 and get the full rotation i ALWAYS land with my bars at like a 90degree angle. Either that or i lock up my feet and fall to the side or backwards

what do u think to the spank rims mate?

dialeddobermann (Oct 20, 2011 at 13:37)

great. abeit heavy, but they stay true and avoid pinch flats really well. super strong and great looking too. i highly recommend them.

corker1101 (Oct 20, 2011 at 15:26)

Those pedals look like they will destroy a shin.

dialeddobermann (Jan 16, 2011 at 21:01)

but they stick like superglue
