thats an RST Sigma X5, seriously I saw a couple of the Tech-in racers with them on their bikes. apperently RST is like the Marzocchi over in taiwan
I coul be wrong, I recognized it because of the weird crown design that i saw on the Tech-in guys forks which they informed me was an RST sigma x5. Some guy on here had one of them on his Hairy Gary Howitzer.
google some pics of any idea you might have of the fork's name, and see if one matches up.

Looks a lot like a Hanebrink to me.
deffinately looks like a hannebrink
IM pretty sure its a Hannebrink LT-8

see the same retention system for the axle? the 4 bolt from the bottom, a little unusual
probly has a really big axle, like a 24-26mm...

yeah its a hanebrink, the rst didn't have the offsetted uppers from the steerer tube.

I dont know if this helps? But between the crown pinch bolts there is a tiny allen bolt
And were the lower stanchions go into the uppers IE; dust seals, there is a cap that unscrews from the upper to remove the dust seal I believe?

So what are the quality of these things?
pretty sh*tty....
i mean, they were expensive, especially back then...close to a grand or more...which was pretty rare back then...
i think they have a lot of reliability issues, and dan was known for using really thin tubing, so people said they were pretty flexy...
does it seem pretty light for an 8" fork>?

By far the lightest fork I have felt, my friend said the same thing when he picked it up, we were both wondering how strong it was
Tech-In is japanese. And they run Tech-In forks (Tech-In makes suspension products) on their bikes not RST.Dirtjumper999 said:
Also Hanebrink forks are absolute turds. There are no real seals and they are full of a bunch of elastomers and dampers that don't work particularly well. They came with neoprene sleeves that were zip tied to the upper tube and the stantion to act as a makeshift seal.
tech-in makes a bling-bling fork i wonder how it performs cause it looks like something outta japanese cartoon.

travel:180mm
weight: 6.83lbs
i translated some of there site and they seem to be using TiNi coating on the stantions and on the innertubes. the forks are supposed to be seccond in relibility to marzocci and amazing performance they cost about 375000 yen i dunno how much that is

That's a hair over $3200.00 USD, they had better be reliable at that price. You could just buy a trio of 888s and have some cash left over.julian_dh said:
Hane brink is pretty bad. this fork isprobably only good to hang up on a wall for historic purposes. And about the Tech-in guys, I don't know maybe your right, but in my defense their stickers did say RST. They were at the Taipei show.
Anybody want to buy it "for historical purposes"?
