adjustable forks - Rockshox etc

The Pyslo U-Turn forks are great. Normally run the 3 inch for tight single
track, 4 inch for all round riding and 5 inch for long downhills and steep
descents.

Unlike some other variable travel fork, the Pyslo spring rate changes with
the different fork height.

My 2002 fork is about 1 year and half old with weekly use and no
maintenance.

Manitou will offer you a trade in discount on a new fork would suggest a
Black Elite 100/120 or wait till they release the 2004 Manitou Minute with
SPV damping. The Psylo has a good travel adjust the rest is pretty poor, the
Marzocchi MX comp with ETA is a good buy also for the 105mm/80mm travel
level

I also recommend the Manitou Black, i have the Super Air version 80/100. Its
super smooth and plush with nice and easy adjustment. It need some
maintenance, but thats really easy. Its an air/spring fork. It feels really
stiff and pretty bombproof, and thats a nice thing on a FS bike.

The Manitou minute also looks pretty interesting if you are into the
"FOX-Inertia-thingie" its a bit of the same. I like to feel the travel, so i
stick to "regular" forks....for now :-)

Per Rockshox site:

"In addition to complete travel adjustment control, U-Turn technology
automatically adjusts to the correct spring rate and changes the bike's
geometry head angle up to two degrees. As the travel is set low, the spring
rate is higher and you have a sharper head angle. As the travel is set high,
the spring rate is lower and the head angle
is reclined."

The Psylo is NOT supposed to change spring rates when travel is
adjusted?!?!
