I pulled my short travel bike out to ride tomorrow, and when I get to checking it over, the goddamn stanchions on the XC700SL have actually corroded and the plating has flaked off the damn things.
This from a fork that is 6 months old and saw maybe 10 rides. Now let's see if I get a warranty job on it when I send it in. New uppers run $260 bucks if it comes to that.
Maybe I should just stick with Fox.
