well looks like I have to sell my frame now

Weird Review. I have riden the fork a couple times and where it really shinned for me was in rough rock gardens and super steep terain. I have some very steep an rough trails around me with some hucks to flat. This is where I test the shout, it perfromed really well in these situations. With the geometry conservation in the steeps made me much more confident the go faster on the very steep bits of trail; as well it felt as though I was gaining speed through rock gardens where on my 36 I would either be maintaing speed or loosing it. I am not sure where he got the more feedback in rough terrain, maybe not set up right? he did run low air pressure in the fork. I am 145lbs and I run 160 psi in the fork so that might be where the harshness the reviewer was coming from. As with hucks to flat for me it didnt feel better or worse than a 36 just like a normal fork. All in all the fork is pretty sick and a bit better than a 36 in my opinion.

@SlodownU: Maybe, its pretty easy to still argue that that is unethical, but I see where you are coming from. The problem with that is if humanity did that the wildlife population would be wiped out in a matter of days, as well, basically no one is willing to do that.

@WAKIdesigns: Some proposed vegans eating disorder is no justification for consuming animal products. Also just because the vegans you know are crazy conspiracy theorists does not mean that you have to be to be vegan. At its core veganism is a boycott. It is people that realize that animal agriculture is absolutely despicable and that we do not need these products to be healthy. Since we do not need these products to be healthy their is no justification for them. (for 99% of the population)

@tcamp86: It is not at all that I care about animals more than my fellow man. It is quite the opposite, the animals are only one aspect of veganism. The socioeconomic impact of animals products is insanely high. As well as the insane amount of food that has to be fed to these animals just to get a small amount of meat back. The average American consumes ~60,000 plant equivalent kcal's each day. that is a ton of food that could be going to "my fellow man". Instead though it is going to this countries meat addiction.

@cycleco: I have not told anyone how to live their lives.
