Definitely surprised (and I think encouraged?) that so many people dont see brand as a barrier to entry with a fork like this. But its idealistic and foolish to believe that people dont buy with brand in mind. Fox and Rock Shox dominate over 80% of bikes and its all branding preference.

@ilovedust: Same - I had an intense spider that dog tracked pretty bad. Riding straight the frame pointed to the right and the tires didnt create the same line in the dirt.

'Bikes are worthless and no one has any good reason to own one, get a car!' - random driver on a ride to the trail head. I've heard similar things about the fact that I like horse riding. If its not your hobby its easy to completely write it off. And millions of Americans safely enjoy shooting sports... So are we just boycotting because we don't like guns? isn't the argument really about gun laws? If its about gun laws how will boycotting companies of hard working people really address this? Sounds like we are just falling into the same vein of group narcissism as the drivers that try to road rage people onto the shoulder. I need a better cause to support than not buying Giro, Camelbak etc. when it comes to keeping guns out of the hands of criminals.

FREEDOM UNITS!
