How would this be for a Trail/Downhill Build:
I would be riding it at Attitash and use for XC/Freeride here and there, pretty much an all around fun beat on bike.
Soul Cycle Titan Frame
Marzocchi Z1 FR 3 ---Is this fork okay for downhilling about 7 times a year? It will be ridden pretty hard.
CANE CREEKheadset- S2 ---Will this fit?
El Camino Brakes
RACE FACE PRODUCT
Race Face Diablos bars
Race Face Evolve Crank
Azonic Pedals ---A-Frame
SRAM -X9 Rear Shifter
SRAM X9 Trigger
Any Ideas for cheap strong wheelsets? Thanks
Mr Dirt Ring-Guard if I don’t like the one that is on the evolve
Maxxis Minion Tires

What about the next step up? Z.1 Freeride? or for a bit cheaper the Sherman Flick Plus? I was thinking 66rc but it's a bit on the pricey side and it seems more like a strictly downhill fork.

I don't know if you are kidding or not. But I have actually had a SR Suntour fork in the past.

he's kidding.

your fork choice really isn't bad, i think your parts will do you fine.

i would go for something like the z-150. or a 6 inch single crown with some kind of travel adjustment that way you can bump it down to 5 inches for trail riding. The titan has a pretty steep headtube angle and the 6 inches at full travel would help it for dh riding.

Any other opinions?

Dual Ring guide maybe? 24/36t is the hot combo now, low enough to granny up the steep stuff but a 36t ring for when it turns downhill...

Could I still run that with the Race Face Evolve Crank and just buy a new ring or two? Thanks.
