Advantages: Very strong, stiff, versatile Disadvantages: Heavy, marmite looks
...This fork is aimed purely at the dirt jump and street market. For this reason they have been constructed primarily with strength in mind. The steerer tube is made from reinforced steel so there are no worries about cracking as on some of the older models of this fork. The stanchions are 32mm diammeter steel ensuring that they can withstand the constand abuse of dirt and street riding. All this steel does come at a price though, and that is the weight of around 7lb, about 2lb heavier than the 2003 version with aluminium steerer and stanchions (although I own both of these versions of the fork, and when in use the extra weight only seems to make a difference on long climbs, not the forks intended use, and therefore the weight is not a problem as far as I am concerned). The damping is Dual SSVF and has an external rebound adjuster, preload...

Advantages: Guide you through the rough stuff Disadvantages: None so far

I have had them on the bike for about 2 months now and they are surviving really well. In that time I have probably done about 750 km on them and they still look and perform great.
I rate them, and you can purcahse them at bargin prices from many of the mountain bike internet shop sites. Enjoy....

Advantages: Excellent performance, very comfortable Disadvantages: You're slightly paying for that quality
......they're called 'the players' Kenneth, you big eejit.
Having managed over my 36 years to construct a body so biased towards the right side as to make J Edgar Hoover proud, the gradual emergence of a large hole in my football boots strategically placed directly over my starboard big toe was something that needed addressing. Some might suggest that some warm milky tea and retirement were the appropriate course of action, but as fully paid-up member of the Rage Against The Dying Of The Light Brigade, I opted for the 'replacement' option. And so it came to pass that my not-that-dainty-Size-Tens were easing their way into a pair of Adidas Team Mundial Astro Turf G. Classics.
The selection had not been arbitrary. Online searches of football forums had revealed the odd supporter capable of coherent written English, and once they...

Well when super Mario cart came out on the N64, it was, and i'm sorry to say, the best arcade racing game on any console at the time. It boasted addictivibility (if that is a word), amazing graphics and a long shelf life.
