Oh, i got some XC rims the other day. I used them for doing the jaw-drop and they buckled. They must be absolutely rubbish at everything. (I hope ive layed the sarcasm on thick enough)

If you buy a cheap fork, dont expect it to be as good as your argyle or pike or whatever you have. If you buy cheap, you get cheap. Its not a bad fork for the money.

Anything will break if you thrash it hard enough. Even going off a curb can do the last bit of damage. Metal weakens over time.

Posting a picture of a busted fork in a thread slating the same fork is kinda implying,for a 5 year old fork i reckon most any other fork would look the same.

To be honest, When I got my GT, I took the fork off, threw it out, and got a Marzocchi.

or is slow as f*ck?

or perhaps rides fairy trails, as an RST launch DJ fork wouldn't last 1 run down a proper dh track...
