Yeah dj 3's are poop. Try like a dmr trailblade 2 if you want rigid. Do you have a 20 mill thru axle or QR?

the identiti rebate dirt comes with a disc mount and you'll be able to wack your wheel straight on there. best rigid imo i had the 1420 for a while before i had to rus sus forks with my wrist/shoulder injury. go identiti over dmr all the way

erm they are kinda like frames.. they have a geometry. they vary in length and also offset of the wheel. obv also some are lighter and some are stronger but many will agree that the identiti are the best

Haha either one. Oh well low quality fork= cant expect much.

EDIT : Actually nothing external adjustments on the fork apart from right leg. With Allen key and even that does f*ck all to the compression. maybe make it a little harder.

as of right now im not sure if i want to spend some big money to still not be happy with a sus/fork.what does lowering the fork actually do.ex.. tighter,less preload/compression
