this is true as well. Many of the people I know who have suspension forks on street/dj whips have also reduced the travel.I would say that in disciplines like downhill a better fork is more apt to actually improve your riding.
Here your running forks stiff as hell anyway, the main thing is whether it snaps or not.
Oh dude, forks are the bomb. They do soooooo much to make you a better rider. They'll get you up early to ride when you don't feel like it, they'll help you eat better and drink lots of water, they'll counsel you on proper techniques, they'll get on the stairmaster or road bike to build your fitness. Man, they'll do everything for you if you find the right one. I even had one pimp fork that worked 9 to 5 for me and paid my bills so I could ride all the time. It even went so far as to go to the gym to lift and make me stronger. Yeah. Get a great fork and it will make you a better rider.

As you get older, you'll find it is more difficult to stay rigid all the time...Go rigid and be done with it...
its not in orderI like how color comes before air vs spring and stiffness
What hub do you have? I think the STP comes with a 9mm QR, in that case if you buy a 318 then you need a 20mm hub.i do 80% street and 20% dirt jump and i have about 400-450 bucks to spend on the fork and i ride a giant stp.
In that case theres lots of forks to look at:yeah i am getting a rhyno lite with a bombshell hub so i can get a thru fork.
Their just a songer fork then a lot of others on the market but still not insanely heavy. If you want something super strong look at the Mar. DJ serries and the bomber.are those meant for street or something?
