Why In your right mind would you get a durulox over a fox 36 factory? While the durulox is a solid fork for the money, it doesn't come close to the factory fox offerings.

Honestly I came off a lyrik with the charger and I really don't notice a difference in performance, if your looking for a super beefy fork that doesn't carry the pricetage of fox or rockshox the durolix is a no brainier, plus the durolix offers a wider range of tuning, the fox 36 is a super awesome fork and if you get the rc2 version you won't be disappointed, but if your on a tighter budget this provides just as much performance as a lyrik or a 36

Meh. It measures about 2.65 on 45mm internal rims (supposed to be 2.Cool , but it rides OK. I liked the 3.0 Ground Control I had on before a lot better, it seemed to grip better in pretty much all situations while rolling just as well. Haven't ridden plus in awhile though, liking 29 a lot better.

I keep thinking I might get a Nic as my next bike, it's just hard to drop that much money on a frame without ever even seeing one in the flesh. Sweet rig though man!

Hope brakes and rotors are a must, and the fenders can be forgiven as a functional item. Aesthetically, 8/10
Function 10/10

8/10 for the nicolai, defiantly on my shortlist to replace my patrol whenever that may be! Here she is sat in her current state, unfortunately I had issues with the Diamonds so had to get something quick for the old girl, so most notible change is the 170mm lyrik.

Apologies for the non driveside special

Ha ha! Thanks man, the frames are a work of art & ride so well. I'm lucky in that a couple of my friends already had Nicolai for me to try before hand Smile

I'm running Tech3/e4 (only thing that will bring 17stn to a halt) but find the icetech rotors better than the hope floaters for some reason?

Thanks again for the comment & hope you get to chuck a leg over one in the near future tup
