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. "Lynn McCreeady" wrote in message ... I have a 98 heckler - Vanilla R / Manitou XVert R - fork not the best developing play etc and I would like to replace with an adjustable travel fork, psylo, marzochhi type technology - frame will run upto 100mm according to Santa Cruz - anyone have any recommendations? particularly keen to hear from anyone running newer adjustable travel fork in their lower travel settings ie 100mm on a 125mm fork? Thanks ( in advance) |

Thanks ( in advance) 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 |

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 :-) Peter |

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." http://www.rockshox.com/03RSHome/03RSHome.htm "David Bailey" wrote in message ... Jack wrote in message ...
