Fox F80X vs F80RLT
"Bill" wrote in message om... I'm trying to decide between the two and need opinions. They're both freakin' expensive but I can't mount a 'zocchi and I'm won't buy a Rock Shox. So: does the TerraLogic "delay" in kicking in suck, or is it no biggie? And does the clunking of the RLC suck, or is it no biggie? Help appreciated! Bill I'm about to make a similar choice too. I'm also looking at the F100RLC (can change travel to 80mm from what I understand). I'm not even sure what the difference is between that and the F80RLT. Old Fox website was useless and new one isn't up yet. Also, next year apparently entire Fox line will have new ProPedal valving--supposed to decrease pedal bob. I don't want to wait tho You might want to look at this too: http://www.mtbreview.com/reviews/2003_front_shocks/ |

Bill I just mounted an RLC 100 and have been very impressed. I've only had it for a week but have put 6 rides on it, here's my mini review: Overall I am lovin it; plush, stiff, easily adjustable...what else is there? The most impressive pro about it is the stiffness. Oh so very stiff. Noticeably better than my old bomber, from back when the arch was removable. Minor cons: I like the lockout because it actually just ramps up the compression damping real high leaving just enough suspension to smooth things out, but not enough to rob energy. The only problem I've found is that since there is a little action I find myself forgetting that it's locked. Also, when locked out, the sharpish knob is pointing directly at my knee. I'll probably never hit it but it makes me ever so slightly uneasy. Noise; no knocking yet. The squish is a little louder than I'm used to but not enough to be noticeable. |
