Since my 2001 4 inch Marz Z5 has crapped out, (crown creaks, steer tube definately cracked) after a couple light dirt jumping sessions, I think it is time to start looking for a new fork, as I doubt Marzocchi will warrenty it with all the bad experiences I've been hearing about them.
So, I was thinking of a DMR Trailblade, but I'm thinking rigid might just kill me, cause I will use the bike for a bit more than just dirt jumping, some trail riding here and there. Anyone have any experience with Manitou Blacks or 2002 Psylos? the manitou sherman flick looks promising, but it is a first year product, who knows how it will go. I just want to stay away from marzocchi. After seeing/hearing all the horror stories of their Dirt Jump line of forks seperating at the m-arch/upper joint, and the stanchions snapping, I don't feel safe with them...
Thanks all
