Marzocchi 888 RC-3 Features: When it comes to throw down the big bucks or the big hucks, rely on Marzocchi's proven performance. Specifications: RC3 Cartridge with adjustable hi-lo speed compression and rebound damping 1 side coil + 1 side air spring 38mm nickle coated stanchions Aluminium steerer 11/8\ steerer 3.22kg 20mm axle 200mm travel 6\" Post mount (9\" Max)"
Advantages: Bombproof, it will take anything you throw at it and come back asking for more Disadvantages: Bit on the heavy side at 40lbs but its not really an uphill bike
...I bought this bike about 3 months ago in the end of season sales for £2,000, the rrp on it was £2500. The bike is excellent, great build quality, super strong frame, takes so much abuse. The spec of the bike is superb as well, I've never seen a bike with such good components. The Marzocchi Roco rear shock is very plush and smooth through the whole travel range and still takes big hits. The Marzocchi888 forks complement the rear shock well, they are soft in the first part of the travel but then ramp up to take the big hits. Sun Hill rims take everything you throw at them and the Shimano drive train and brakes are excellent, the shifting is crisp with no lag and the brakes will stop you on even the most vertical runs.
The one downside is the weight, it is so much effort to pedal it up hills but it is defiantly worth it to ride this bike...

Advantages: Good value for money Disadvantages: soft rims
...The 99 Giant ATX 840 is a pretty good bike for the money. It comes with a Alivio/ STX-RC component mix, and a Rockshox Jett T2 elastomer fork, which I have upgraded to Marzocchi Bomber Z5 fork, which performs well, despite the slow rebound. I have noticed no problems except for the rear rim I bent hitting a curb at high speed. This bike has a stiff, light, 6061-T6 alloy frame. I have found that upgrading to a riser bar makes riding this bike noticibly more comfortable. Overall, this is a good bike for someone who is entering the world of mountain biking....

Advantages: Tough, reactive, rigid, looks the dogs Disadvantages: a bit heavy, can be stiff before being worn in
...hours of hard riding the fork was pretty soft and very reactive.
With much use on things like 3 foot drops to flat and generally light freeride i've never bottomed these forks out and would definetly buy them again if i needed new forks......

If you didn't get one of these with your Canon, and are serious about photography then it really is a must have.
The good thing about this remote is it's dual function, not only will it allow you to perform a shutter release but it will also allow... more
