Every pair i've ridden suck. I'd take my Argyles anyday. Plus Marzocchi's are heavy and like to blow up.
I've seen more broken argyles in the last 2 years than DJs in the last 5(except for the 03s which had a weak crown)...
I've only seen one pair break and it was only a hairline crack
I've seen over 10 bent steertubes and 8 cracked lowers and that is only around the 2 towns i ride in... I'm not talking about internet. but they are still more reliable than manipoo...
I know that the Marzocchi Dj/4X range are strong and bail friendly but I think the Argyle has the edge, it's the only fork around the price that feels like proper suspension! The adjustments are far better than my friends 2007 dj3, my other friends 2008 dj2's (Which were faulty from day of purchase and had to be sent back for a new cartridge) and my friends dj1's 2009 are nice but still do not adjust half as well as 409 argyles. Happy riding
