I just got done building my M3 and it's time that I build a new DH race bike. Because I just finished building my M3(expensive), I'm looking to keep costs down a bit. The last component that I really need is a fork.
I've got an '08 Boxxer WC on my M3, however this time I'm thinking I'll go coil sprung as it will be more of a "plow anything" bike. I raced a couple races last season with my 66vf2(?) equipped Session. I really liked the way I was able to tune the fork with the oil weights and heights. It looks like I would be able to do the same with the '08 888 RCV, not sure about the RC3 or RC3 WC.
I'm wanting a fork that is very supple off the top and then ramps relatively quickly beyond that. I'm 6' and 135lbs dry, so finding a fork that is plush enough for me, yet rigid is ideal.
Suggestions? Anyone working with the '08 888 stuff yet?
