Yet another possible freeride fork that I may be interested in. This one has a Hanebrink 6" upgrade. Any thoughts or other such feedback. Oh yea it's going on a pimped out Giant AC2..and no I don't care about the warranty issue.

those forks are a maitenance nightmare, they can be ok for some applications but for freeride i must say they are the worst alternative possible,
see they dont tolerate dust or water, and their small hit compliance is like the one of a rigid fork, plus if you go freeriding the fork would probaby swallow dirt during the uphill part and then when you need it, it will seize (these fork seize bigtime, zero travel when the plastic bushings swell with moisture or when they just dont want the fork to move) and you will be rigid again.........

I'd pass on those also, I am selling some 2000 White Brothers DH<2's that were just rebuilt 3 weeks ago and never reinstalled if you are interested? They are far better than the 2 forks you described.

I realize you're kinda trying to help, but this isn't really the place for posting ads...

Kinda not cool.
