If you're going to post a "Which fork should I get?" thread, PLEASE state your size, weight, riding style, and the terrain your generally ride.

Plus, search this forum before you ask it. It's not wrong to ask a question like this, mind you; it's just that it's been asked 6,000 times already, and most of the regulars who have tons of good information have written it before and are tired of repeating themselves.

And since they're not going to answer you, all you'll get is wiseass responses instead of the info you'd like to know.

We like idle conversation about bike parts, but we've been talking about slider+ forks for over a year now...the only thing that'll get an exciting thread going is speculation on products we haven't seen yet...

You'll have to get go ride crowns or else the fork will be too tall, unless you have the FR version with the air assist and the extended bottom out bumpers. The oil in them is crap, dump it and us ATF from your local auto parts store. You might need some 3.0's to balance out the front with the rear and give you a little extra squish for the uber big hucks. Does it come in rootbeer? I heared on Pukebike that rootbeer is up to 30% faster. Urban Cammo is good for border crossings too.

I thought that I read on Pinkballs.com that rootbeer made you go 31% faster, not to mention a BILLION% huckier ( a.k.a more Canadian)
