I'm thinking of upgrading the fork on my Airborne Lucky Strike. I'm posting in the Racing forum, since I'm going to use it primarily for racing rather than the regular day to day rides.
I'm thinking of ditching my 2001 Manitou Mars Super for a 2002 Rock Shox SID - either the Race Ti or the SL. Any Monkeys out there riding a 2002 SID? Reading on the RS website, it looks like they doubled the length of their bushings to stiffen up the feel. I Had a SID XC at one time and it felt really noodly till I added a second set of bushings. I guess RS decided to build that into the fork for 2002? Anyway, I'm OK with the feel of the Mars, but not super impressed.
Monkey thoughts please.
