Rockshox Judy TT?
Anyone have any experience with this fork? It seems my options in 1"
steerer are currently the cheap RST stuff, one of these NOS from a LBS or upwards of $650 for something high-end. MTBR reviews this say it's heavy & poorly handling, but I don't have a lot of faith in the reviews over there. Any input appreciated from anyone that's ridden one of these, or has seen one in action. Thanks, Dan |

Thanks, Dan Have a Judy TT with a 1 1/8" steerer on a K2, 100 mm of travel. Have had it a couple of years with a couple of thousand miles on it. It works fine. Can't complain about the handling. Its a little on the stiff side, and as most low end forks weighs well over 4 Lbs. The fork has a spring on one side with a preload adjuster, and rubber bumpers on the bottom of both legs. It is easy to take apart for service. Rock Shock has a .pdf manual on their web site. The fork is grease lubed. I found it works best to get some grease spread in between the upper and lower bushings down the inside of the slider legs. When mine came it just had a ring of grease above the top bushing below the seal. Because it is grease lubed it gets stiffer in cold weather in the winter. Rock Shox makes a grease called Judy Butter for it, but I have lubed mine with Krytox GPL 226 100% teflon grease. I do cross country riding, not downhill, and the fork is holding up OK. |

Thanks for the feedback. Well over 4lbs scares me a bit for this bike, but so does an RST fork. The Judy may be the call. |
