I just picked up a brand new psylo off ebay for $100 shipped. My first question is, how do I tell what year model it is? The auction wasn't too detailed (seemed like the lister didn't know much about bikes). It is black, has the u-turn markings on the stanchions, and has a 20mm T/A. I know it is an 03 or 04, but not sure which.
Second question: how much can these actually handle? I did research and such...seems like some people have a great time with them and others blow them on the 2nd ride. I will use this for agressive XC riding, maybe some 4x racing. Is there anything I could do to prevent a premature demise for this fork? And will it hold up to my intended riding? I figured for $100 I couldn't go wrong...
