problem with that is ur A-C is still hella highRobsterCrw said:If you want the pimpist bike on the block you can get a 66 with a travel reduction kit from Nemesis Project. If money is an issue then a DJ1,2,3, a pike, a fox vanilla, or Manipoo Gold Label, are all appropriate. Both marz and Fox have great CS.
It's really not much of an issue with a travel reduction kit.The Kadvang said:problem with that is ur A-C is still hella high
Ah NO , the axle to crown on a 90mm 66vf2 is 490mmThe Kadvang said:problem with that is ur A-C is still hella high
My bad. Thats with the new 66 though, I assume?Evil4bc said:Ah NO , the axle to crown on a 90mm 66vf2 is 490mm
my z-1 street set at 65mm is 475mm
You do the math Kadvang !
The 66 has a lower axle to crown than a Z-1
Sorry were we talking about the old one .......NO ! ..LOLThe Kadvang said:My bad. Thats with the new 66 though, I assume?
Why dont you just go buy a ridgid fork ?Muuqi said:yup, RockShox will replace a broken no questions asked. . .but all the new ones have the new arch, so breakage is not a worry. I personally run mine on lockout all the time except when I ride trails, it feels a bit weird on jumps and street at first, but then you learn to pump the trannies of jumps, which helps you to flow jumps better because you don't lose your speed due to suspension dive. Also with urban, when the fork is locked out, it's soo much easier to do nose stalls and/or nose wheelies. Ride on!
Muuqi said:Well I don't have a rigid fork for the simple reason that I like the best of both worlds. I can have a burly fork with a 20 mm axle that can be locked out to DJ and jib on, I can unlock it and leave it at full open for when I decide to go up to the trails, and whlen I decide that I don't want to jump with a locked out fork, I can open the compression and adjust it for whatever stiffness I feel like. So rather than owning a rigid fork and a suspension fork, I can just use one. Also I haven't seen many rigid forks with a thru axle. Also jumping on the Pike locked out is not what caused the 4 different ones to break (like Mack mentioned) it was that orginal arch design was weak and needed to be beefed up.
Also, I am not saying that ALL marz forks break, only all the models that I have owned, so I personally am a bit biased against them. I've heard nothing but good about the new 06 line of forks.
also, lock out doesnt make the fork completely rigid. it just makes it very stiff, but it still has some give to it for big hitsEvil4bc said:OK that makes sense ... I can respect that !
