Right now I am riding a 04 Sinister DNA with a 2004 Dirt Jumper 1. The frame is amazing, I couldent be happier. However I do not like my DJ1. I like a stiff fork, so I have to run air. With me running air I only get 1.5 inches of travel on the most extreme hits (Say overshooting a huge double i might get 1.5 inches topps) This just does not work well with the wrists and with an already slack Head Angle of the DNA it slackens it more. Ideally I would like an 80mm fork, because If I can do alright with a 1.5" fork, 3 inches certainly wont hurt me. I will also steepen the head angle creating a much nimbler bike. I have two options. I have been talking with a friend and he offerd to sell me an 80mm Fox 36 Dirt Jumper (Dont ask, its custom) or a 2004 80mm Sherman Jumper. The jumper is in good condition and is $250 shipped. The 36 I am assuming is around $300. On this bike I plan to Dirt Jump alot, ride street as well as skateparks, race DS and 4x, and occasinally trail ride it for fun as a change from my dh bike. I weight 155-160 and I am relatively smooth but I dont want a fork that will combust on me.
Any suggestions?
(Ps. Im a whore so a plus to the 36 is it matches the 40 and pushed RC on my DHR so I can have a lovely FOX family )
