i'm buying some RST triple crowns for my bike, they're amazing quality, although a little heavy they're AMAZINGLY cheap.

definitly. they are simple. usuially meaning a low price and relyable easy to rebuild internals.

when and if my custom sherman jumper somehow dies after all this time then im gettin a 36 talas rc2 lowered to 100 or an RST Space. a $1500 or $350 fork. big difference.

Showa.

White Bros does make nice forks from what I hear. An underappreciated fork would be the RockShox Revealation. Sub 4 lbs with a Maxle Light.

I think it's a tapered steerer and like a 26 mm hub... Pretty pointless but whatever, I'm sure it's stiff

Oh, yeah, they needed to rid of the dangers of the flexy, delicate 20mil. Razz

it's an inverted fork isn't it? so they need the bigger hub to accomidate for it without making the axle weight 3 pounds. the x-fusion delta was the same. except i think it was a 28mm axle.

what do you mean talas LOWERED to 100, its adjustable externally, 100-130-160. and its not 1500, its like just under 1000. but there are a couple of pros who DO run the RST space, i haven't heard anything of it but it should be solid.

The foes fork is not only made for foes bikes. I know Fionn Griffiths has/had one on his norco.
