thank you for that input, however it still means that there's can (and will) be stiffer.seismic said:
you are right ! But I still believe an USD will out-perform a conventional fork !scottishmark said:
and with that you can drop and at same time do x-up

except of course in stiffness, weight and price...seismic said:

Not so sure stiffer is better.........also a USD fork won't be as tall.......and has less moving weight.......dante said:except of course in stiffness, weight and price...
Well in regards to stiffness it depends on the overlap, the bushings and size of the upper/lower legs. Avalanche DHF8 and MTN8 don't seem to have much of a flex problem from what I HAVE HEARD, (<note that) nor does that Foes fork- it does have an oversize hub though.seismic said:Stiffness.......yes
Weight....not necessarily
Price....who cares :eviltongu
PERFORMANCE.....NO ! USD...hands down ! :nuts:
Plus it'll be a right rip-off here in Britain like most the frames/forks from the states. No offense, but stuff here in Blighty is FOOKING expensive compared to the states, from my experience.
Don't you have more buying power because of our weak dollar........?......or doesnt it work like that.......Biker Grove said:
i was riding with a manitou tech this weekend @ whistler - he just got hold of a travis. his first impressions were VERY good. he was stoked; definately an improvement over the dorado in his opinion. we will see...seismic said:Well, - we will have to wait and see about that. The Travis has to be a super fork if it is going to outperform the Dorado
Well dude, the dollar has indeed weakened, yeah. Something like $1.9=£1, I think. Stuff is still pretty much the same price though, last I checked.Cant Climb said:

and this is based on:bizutch said:
the answer is:dante said:and this is based on:
a) your degree in fluid dynamics
b) riding experience with the Travis fork lineup
c) close examination of materials and expanded fork drawings of the Travis
d) pure e-speculation pulled straight out of your ass.
How's the off-camber wet root sensitivity with theese new super stiff forks...?.....when i had a Boxxer it felt like it was playing ping-pong with my headtube......OGRipper said:
because you hadn't tuned your boxxer properly.Cant Climb said:
). I don't have any time on the new crop of boxxers but I understand the damping is similar.No, I'm sorry too, kinda grumpy this morning. It was too early to see all this:seismic said:

that's true......i tried though, always found them tough to set up for my weight.....eventually gave up.Transcend said:because you hadn't tuned your boxxer properly.
What Transend said. I owned a boxxer for a couple of years and really liked it once I got it dialed. It was super easy to service and performed consistently. I got rid of it last year because I wanted more travel and a little more stiffness for my 200 lb lard ass. If the 8" boxxers were available last year I probably would have gone with one of those. Now I love my 888 and don't think I'll need another fork for a while.seismic said:
ya, well that will cause all sorts of issues mate. Easiest way - get the proper spring weight..as soft and you can get away with with 2-3 preload biscuits.Cant Climb said:
No doubt. I stay out of fork threads now.OGRipper said:
