Hey, this may be a stupid question, but I need an answer. Could I put a Totem on my 2007 Kona Shred? Or what about a Marzocchi 66? Thanks

The Pike would be a great fork. It has a bunch of adjustments so you can change them for diferent types of riding. I.e. street, DJing, XC, or AM.

Pike 426 coil. Strong, light, not too pricey, great damping, and looks sweet.

What more can you ask for?

plus the totem isnt relible yet so you'd probably have to go get it looked at and rebuilt alot...

that was the 07' idk about the 08' but i'd wait a year cause it generally takes a compnay 3 years to make it right, unless its fox which you know will be badass the seccond you get it, except they dont let anyone work on them so its automaticly 120 and your out for at least a week when things go wrong with the fox!

Air is more expensive, and really isn't needed in this application. It's light enough in coil form.

The low end Pike is the 426, and it's 700. It's all you need.

Wow, there is a 409. Not sure on prices then. Might check for you tomorrow.

If you want to go with something a little bit bigger a marzo 55 ata would be a good option. Good damping, travel adjustable, and kind of like the pike Sherbert was talking about.

Just don't get the 454. Hollow crown. Lighter, but can't take as much abuse.
