The SuperT on my Straight 8 finally gave it up.I have always had Marz or Manitou.Never ridden a Boxxer (no one around here has ever had one either) so I really have no idea what they are like.Of course everytime someone mentions a Boxxer on here it seems Boxxer haters come out of the woodwork.I bought a Worldcup from Stoney98 and it should be here on Thursday. Anybody care to give an unbias comparision between this fork and others you have ridden.Thanks

I've owned a couple, and I could tell you what I thought of it, no bias, but it doesn't matter, a bunch of people will say they love them(those that own them), and a bunch of people will say that they don't.

What I'd really like to know is how YOU like it, after a couple rides. Let us know, that would perhaps be a much better "unbiased" review or piece of information. It would be more helpfull IMO.

Will be glad to tell you what I think after I get some rides in. I know there is people who hate it and people who love 'em.Just wondering how the ride felt compared to the others. I don't know,I may hate the way it feels but then again it may be the greatest fork ever to me.Never know til you try right:confused:

What happened to your Super T?? Is it completely kaput or can it be resurrected back to life and into service?

PM me with what your plans are for the Super T - If I can't buy your bike, maybe I can buy your fork! lol

you might find that experimenting with a team boxxer is a better bet, the suspension action is the same because the internals and structure is all the same but the price is lower so in case you dont like it then its easier to get rid of it.
tip boxxers dont really feel too good when cold or in parking lot tests.

I hated mine. After the 4th time sending it to Rock Shox I gave up and bought an 888. Course mine was a Race, so that doesn't help you at all. :D

You already bought it, no need to read negative comments about it now. Just ride it and enjoy.

well do the shore and Whistler.;) :D
Can I get in on that? I really really really want to ride some of the north van or maybe mt 7 trails. I can give you beer, lots and lots of beer, and hookers, I know lots of hookers that Jeremy R introduced me to when he was out here on vacation. Aw come on, I ride a turner even.

and oh yeah, boxxers work really well when they work with the non 03 guts.

True. I am the foo. But I already told you what I can't do. I can't get no more vacation for the Woo. Therefore I can't go in June with you. I have to go after the fourth of july in lieu. Maybe we can take a day that week and get bibbs to show us something new?..........maybe two?

Can't? Absolutely can't? Like you're going to get beaten if you leave whistler for a day?

You hang out with wierdos :D

Maybe maybe maybe MABYE towards the end of summer. Depends on work.............which you're not helping now.;)


Morpheus is about to call you on the phone...........

I would sacrifice one day of Whistler to rip Vancouver...but I rather go another time where I can take avantage than more than just one day!

I'll call you later on today in between my gazillion meetings :dead:

Cool. And then you can tell me what Morpheus Cellulite being out of cream means.

Living in the woods away from lingo makes me feel so stupid.
