Yeah, but it was a prototype or so I've heard.zmtber said:was the fork set up right
ex) correct amount of PSI and compression for what it was being used for?

Apparently the new L-turn feature now prevents your front wheel/brake/rotor from being destroyed in the event of a front fork failure.Jeremy R said:Sweetness.

mackster23 said:Sure, this is all the product of a badly setup fork. See, what really happend was that the day before a race, he got a new goodridge brake line, he found out the line was too short, and he didn't have time to get a longer line, because it was sunday, and all the shops were closed. So he decided that he would just make do by compressing his fork, and have a buddy put the brake on while he held the fork. Because he was using a goodridge line, which is uber strong it kept the fork at seven inches of travel. Half way down his race run, he hit a 1.5m drop, and topped it off so hard, that the strength of the brake line, and the fact that his brake line was routed on the front of his fork lowers (see picture) was the actual cause of his WC snapping. Or it could be the fact that the fork is just over six pounds....breakage.

as a long time boxxer owner.jonKranked said:the probable culprit is the fact that boxxers have, for the last few years, used paper thin sidewalls. i've seen plenty of people running guards on the slider to prevent getting holes in it from scraping on rocks, etc. i thought this was well known.
mackster23: for the record that fork is under 6 lbs.
What ladder?mackster23 said:nah, it's the new stealth line. That, or my imagination has gone wild. probably the ladder.
buy a marzoochi it will last you half a decade or until its reliablility bores you into buying something else......dhbuilder said:thanks for the thread j.r.
i'm on the fence on what fork to get.
a w/c or fox.
that photo helped me decide what side of the fence to launch off of.
But dosn't the Fox fork also thin walls - with the weight you should think so?dhbuilder said:thanks for the thread j.r.

Yeah, fox is the same. They snap at the arch. I saw three of them break in the exact same spot in less than a month. Two in the same weekend.CBJ said:But dosn't the Fox fork also thin walls - with the weight you should think so?
