I was gonna buy a new bike, but then I thought I would do something a little more fiscally responsible. so i am just going to buy a new fork.
I have a fox fork on my XC bike and I really like it, it's been smooth, good feel, etc.
I had a marz on a previous bike and it was ok, never felt awesome, but the customer service was great, and the fork worked fairly well except for once where it needed to be sent back for a new damper.
RS - Currently riding a domain, it's ok, doesn't feel terrible, doesn't feel great, I'm aware it's a budget minded fork.
Fox40, saw some new tradeshow, bike model take offs for $999 somewhere, non kashima
Boxxer, seems pretty good value for the $
888, never really seen one in person.
I want something that I don't have to modify, so custom cartidges and all that jazz are out.
I want something that is fairly easy to service, I don't have any problem servicing something so long as I have a repair manual or guide to get me through the first service.
I am a set it and forget it kind of guy, I may add a click or two here and there as I see fit, but once I get it dialed in I don't like to change it a lot from track to track.
Is the fox 40 with kashima worth that much extra $$? will I really notice a difference?
Is going from my domain to a "good" fork worth the extra cash? I think so, and would probably feel more confident having a little extra travel and a fork that is better overall.
I am leaning towards the fox just based on my previous experience with other fox products, I'm kinda brand loyal like that.
