40 is loud as s h it, other than that it totally kicks ass.anyone had any problems with either fork ?
that's funny, its the exact opposite for me...I had nothing but troubles with all of my 888....and Im 160 pounds.lthumbsdown: If you have a chance to take both fork apart you'll see with your own eyes which was better engineered...As far as which one rides better I guess it all depends of your taste...I find the FOX to be better if you like to play with the internals and I actually enjoy the "whooshing" sound my 40 makes...40's sh*t the bed like a 7 year old with diarreah.
I have seen nothing but headaches with 40's
You could eat yourself and be close to my weight. I weigh 230+ and ride hard and crush stuff, my 888's now abd then have never givien me trouble. I like the 40's but reliability is an issue thats for real and all over the internet as well as 888's reliability.that's funny, its the exact opposite for me...I had nothing but troubles with all of my 888....and Im 160 pounds.:...
On my last 888 I had to replace the lowers twice o(leaking).I stopped counting how many times I've changed the seals, blew up the damper and replaced the stanchions...I must have been cursed with bad luck or something. I do a lot of maintenance on my forks, simply because Im fascinated and loves how suspensions works .When I open a FOX 40 and see all the potential to play with the shims I get all excited..It doesnt require more maintenance for me than a Marz, I would do the same with any forks anyway...and I dont think a Marz requires less maintenance by the way.Unless if they made enormous changes with their internal since 2006...You could eat yourself and be close to my weight.

i dont get it, its seems like there is a strong dislike for 40s on the internet. sure, someone can post up a buch of broken 40 pics. but in my experience i have seen far more failures with boxxers, but you dont hear them getting bad rep.I like the 40's but reliability is an issue thats for real and all over the internet as well as 888's reliability.

on the mathematicsHe!! 1 888 is 848 times better.
What he said!on the mathematics
both of you are wrong
888 is 22 and 8/40 times 40
Boxxers used to have a really bad rap because they did what 40's do now... blow up, but unlike fox, rockshox seems like they have solved a lot of problems in their design and are making more reliable forks. Fox is still sacraficing reliability for weight because they haven't come up with a good enough design to optimize both.i dont get it, its seems like there is a strong dislike for 40s on the internet. sure, someone can post up a buch of broken 40 pics. but in my experience i have seen far more failures with boxxers, but you dont hear them getting bad rep.
