nothing wrong with lowered 55

f0n888 (Aug 27, 2009 at 11:34)

there is when its lowered to 55 mm...

13 4

that defeats the purpose of having a 55, why not just get a dj fork?

ziegele (Mar 14, 2009 at 10:08)

its stronger, this isnt his bike, he just reposted it

ryandj (Jul 15, 2009 at 23:54)

55 are really good for dj if you have them set up right and if you watch the nissan qashqai paul bas uses all mountain 1s lowered to like 100mm big fors are sometimes just as good

ryandj (Jul 15, 2009 at 23:56)

and if you do want sommit like 120 or 140 for big drop or north shore 55 or whatever have alot more travle than dj1s or 4x that ony have 100 travle and cant be ajusted

theres still no point having a 55 lowered to like 80. Its still heavier then any dj fork.

ryandj (Dec 17, 2009 at 11:44)

but if you are good enough it wont matter about the weight look at darren baracloth and paul bas they use 55 lowered and look what they are can do on them

marzocchi dj forks feel like shit...so the 55 is stronger and a bit plusher...sick job on the raw...

bikerkid13 (Jul 1, 2009 at 17:06)

sick job on the raw, they come like that :S

talhaslam (Jul 15, 2009 at 22:32)

why would you want a plush dj fork?

STP-Matt (Jul 15, 2009 at 23:53)

why wouldnt you?

dh-kevin-dh (Mar 14, 2009 at 7:52)

id get the marzocchi 4X

brycepiwek (Jul 16, 2009 at 0:27)

well for the record the 55 is slightly lighter than a 4x (5.2 vs 5.4 if your going to be picky) and plus the larger stachions make it stiffer.

dh-kevin-dh (Jul 16, 2009 at 7:35)

ok, good, point, but if you really want a light 4x fork, a 2010 fox ralas 32...3.96lbs

f0n888 (Aug 27, 2009 at 11:35)

fox 831!

dh-kevin-dh (Aug 27, 2009 at 15:36)

f0n888 (Aug 28, 2009 at 10:31)

konad (Dec 7, 2009 at 16:24)

nouser (Apr 21, 2010 at 6:25)

to all the argument about the lowered 55, maybe its just rider prefernace?

dsheffer (Jul 15, 2009 at 23:54)

sie7e (Jul 16, 2009 at 9:41)
