quick release sucks ass, face it.

agreed, im lookin for a 36 talas or float. i may get an 831

831 definately there cheaper and lighter. I absolutely love mine and haven't had a problem wit it. But if your really hard on your bike go for a 36 float. Stiffer axle and bigger tubes. Only downside is it's like $200 more and a pound heavier

a fox 831 is the same thing as a 32 float 15mm. just a different tune.

i know i know, i've already mourned

cant go wrong with that fork either. you'll never need a new fork. its an extremely versatile fork.

exactly. just ordered enduro seals, painted it black, put World Cup stickers on it, and im getting all the caps and axle done gold ano by Tyler at Twenty6. should be sick. wish it was kashima, woulda been perfect. pics will be up at the end of the season

thats gunna be so legit! the karasima adds so much i think, it looks amazing haha the gold ano will be amazing with your forks.

yep. i got a friend who makes frames too. and im getting a completely custom frame with a bunch of lil extras just for the cost of tubing which is like 350

Xterain6 (Oct 11, 2010 at 10:23)

yes but this had a QR not a 15mm axle. isnt it?

carter-hill (Oct 11, 2010 at 11:19)

mhmm. im just saying id never buy an 831 haha. massive markup for no difference. I got myself a 36Float RC2 n im super happy with it. my bike is still 26 with it
