jesus christ that looks sweet....im guessing the forks wont hold up long though...why did you get nixon? seems kinda wierd for a dj bike.... i would have thought a sherman, vanilla, pike or something like that would have been better for this kind of bike... but yeah, i hope the forks hold up, other than that, its awesome

Nixon Hold up...What the? They have the same crown/innerlegs as the Sherman and the same lowers as the Stance but are air sprung and weigh 1.9kg! I can’t see any problem with them holding up to DJ’s.

Yeah, the chain guide is a little out of place, I know, but it's silent, keeps the chain on and works awesome! I will eventually get an e-thirteen for it though.

actually, the crown is hollow, and the stanchions have a thiner wall then the sherman

update us in a few months if its still holding up... I'm curious to see how it works out for you
