So as I'm tussling with my Boxxer and trying to get it where I want it to be, I'm thinking about the possibility of buying a backup or even replacement fork. Anyways...I'm looking at a used Fox 40 RC2, year 2007. I guess it was rebuilt in september and has the direct mount crown. I have no experience with Fox forks, but I've heard they're good performers. It's a cheap fork, I could probably sell my Boxxer for more than I'd pay for the 40, but am I going to enter a world of even higher maintenance and warranty issues? I've heard bad things in the durability department. I don't know if it's fair to assume the fork has slightly updated (ie 09/10) internals or if it's more likely to have the same 07 damper.
Anyways, any help would be appreciated, I simply don't know that much about the 40. Contemplating the 888 as well, but that's a whole different story.
