THESE ARE '05 FORKS, except the fox.
Sorry for all the threads about a bike I want to get, but now its narrowed down to the fork.
I am thinking of getting an Iron Horse 7.3. I am going to sell the manitou flow and replace it with another while it still has value new.
My riding types/style:
I am going to use it for dh races, lift/shuttle dh, and all-around fr and some aggresive trail riding w/ some climbs.
I have narrowed it down to three:
Marzocchi 66rc -7" - it is a tall fork and is slack, but maybe I could steepen it w/ adjustable reducers(I think this would make it way to tall in the end)
Marzocchi 66rc -6" - this is tall for a 6" fork, but would fit the 7.3 becasue it was designed around a 7" fork. I really like how dependable marzocchis are. My DJ2 has taken so much abuse and has not ever needed service.
Fox 36 van - This is light which might be nice, but I have read alot about it and heard it is more of a fork for smooth landing and I am not sure about its longterm durablity and depenability.
