lets see.........um...................no! lol

people try and ride dh with them - and they get fork internals and springs fired in their faces. people try and ride street with them - they get bent steerer tubes!

basically theyre a joke.

and also RST make tape measures - they suck too.

Another person posting pretty much pointless information. I've ridden two sets of 'space' forks and a society version of the RST classic now and to be fair, its not to bad, if you like a solid feeling setup upfront, go for it. Adjustment is crazy, but heck, basic works best sometimes! You got a fair few pro's throwing down on them too and they're holding up!

Use the search and you'll find yourself plenty of threads regarding them!

Right, this thread isnt going to go downhill, the guy asked a simple question and now its just being flooded with pointless crap. If you've honestly had a bad experience with the fork, post it up, explain the situation. If your just here to try and fit in and be cool by hating on a product that you've never ridden as your way to narrow minded to consider options that aren't 'scene' then dont post.


period.
