dude, its just a proto, chill out!Originally posted by Tenacious Doug
Thats the worst paintjob I have seen since.............
Well, ever.
I bet the color stays, Kona is good about sticking to proto color's all of last years bike colors were already decided by this time. Fork looks cool!Originally posted by HTFR

what? looks fine to meOriginally posted by Rik
If it has the integrated fender mounts in the crown, then it's still too tall....
What kind of question is THAT??Originally posted by Jm_
well, if it isn't overly tall, what the hell are we going to complain about?
its because of the ugly stickers.Originally posted by MikeD
I heard it spikes real bad, whatever that means.

No you just can't be a manitou or RS owner... put those dummies near a marz fork and you are going to have problems!:devil:Originally posted by zedro

and i hear you need a masters degree in order to change the springs without breaking it...
ahh, that explains the 'where do i jam the elastomers in' type questions....Originally posted by mplutodh1

lucky for you, there's a knob which controls that(as opposed to a boxxer which has knobs, but they don't control the too-activeness)Originally posted by binary visions

yes the boxxer knobs control which way the screw holding the knob on is facingOriginally posted by Jm_

yes, but i'm too busy to deal with adjustments, so i'll just complain how it bottoms out too easily and inquire about what fork i should replace it with. Chances are i'll try and adjust that new fork (because it too bottoms out too easily), bungle the wrench and break a very expensive part, complain about how the manufacturer is screwing me in replacement costs and how its all their fault anyways, then threaten to kill half the internet and proceed to get banned for life from a popular mtb site....Originally posted by Jm_

As in, if it has the fender mounts, it'll sit about an inch taller than it "should" as a fork for that travel. No real big deal, as long as frame designers take it into account when speccing angles, and say "this is for a 66, which is a tall fork for its travel", instead of the usual vague "for a x.x inch travel fork".Originally posted by mplutodh1
what? looks fine to me
not if they changed the fender design. Aftermarket fenders dont require the extra space, so nothing says Marz cant tweek the design...Originally posted by Rik

Yes..we should start a shop, buy "defective" marzocchi forks for pennies on the dollar....Originally posted by zedro

actually his roomates have banned him from mtbr. I guess they have a static IP (probably a dorm) and the admin blocked it. The roomates begged us to re-open it to get access and promised not to let him screw things up again. They werent too impressed with his antics, and apparently he was still pretty steamed over the whole debacle. The guy has mental problems for sure, he had two other handles banned before that for pretty much the same spazmotic behavior (i'll kill you!...i'll kill you all!!!!)Originally posted by ViolentVolante
Did you really ban him for life zedro, youre such a good mod
but where would we find the space to store them all?.......the bottles of oil i should say...Originally posted by Jm_

The funniest thing to me was that for some reason he thought I lived in washington, so he told me that he'd find me and kill me in washington.Originally posted by zedro

so if a guy in Washington who rides a trans-blue bullit gets murdered, does that make you accountable for reckless endangerment?Originally posted by Jm_

I told him that yes I did, and that I rode a trans-blue bullit!

What a piece of work. I was throughly entertained for the better part of an hour reading that nonsense. He went too far with the death threats and junk about gay bashing. I notice he didn't post a picutre of his scrawny self, sheesh if he really needs a tazer or a switchblade he's not half the man I am (that's right all 150 lbs.)
