Advantages: Price, stiffness, travel, durability Disadvantages: Average weight
RockShox seem to have the budget corner of the fork market well and truly cornered and this latest tora is no exception.
Other manufacturers budget forks are cheap, heavy, flexy and not very pleasant to ride on but the tora blows away all these expectations.
It comes in at a sensible (but no lightweight) weight, but makes up for this with excellent lateral stiffness.
The travel is extremely plush for a fork in this price range and absorbs both small trail bumps as well as large drops with ease.
This particular U Turn model allows adjustable travel and the fork features both V brake mounts as well as an IS disk mount.
RockShox are known for their reliability and with regular servicing this fork should last a very long time. Simply brilliant for the money ...
Advantages: i did ok Disadvantages: some stresses and strains
1) What did you do in 2008 that you have not done before?
I taught English to a class of Germans over the summer. I was terrified when asked to do it but absolutely loved it and was a brilliant experience.
2) Did anyone close to you give birth?
Not that I can think of although almost I have 7 friends who are currently pregnant and expecting their babies very soon!
3) Did anyone close to you die?
No one particularly close to, but someone that I admired very much. A local man who was well known for his dedication to the local carnival and his yearly appearances as father Christmas at various occasions. I had know him since I was little and he was short, a little overweight with a white beard. Throughout our childhood, my brother and I as well as our friends were utterly convinced that he was the real father Christmas! He was ...
Advantages: Will be Appreciated by Rangers fans! Disadvantages: Won't be by everyone else!
----Background of Visit----
The Argyll is situated under the Central Station Bridge on Argyle St. Glasgow. One Saturday evening heading in to town for a night out, me and a couple of friends got off the train and having had a few shandys on board we headed for the nearest pub to make use of the facilities, so to speak. That pub was The Argyle.
----Description of Visit----
I headed straight for the toilet which regrettably involved going down a flight of stairs and a long a corridor, not the best for me! When I got back upstairs I was handed a pint by my friend (we could only use the toilets if we were customers, you know the score) and I looked around. I was a touch taken aback by what I saw. We we're a mixed group, I am a Motherwell fan, one friend was a Rangers fan, and the other fan was rather unfortunately a Celtic supporter ...
