not sure yet.... something a little more adjustable.... i go back and forth from rough trail to open road. and some of those gravity drops are a bitch when your suspension compresses at the bottom... we have a couple 20' grav drops built into the trails...

Any suggestions...

Marzocchi is still the bombproof choice. do you want 120mm or more? the co. I'm working for right now has very good deals on forks. supergo.com but if you see an unbelievable price it'll go fast (if it's still in stock that is).

some of this stuff is a little pricey yeah I wouldn't have my rig if it weren't for discounts and payroll deduction. I had a walmart mongoose when I started working here. I might have some slightly used parts for sell if you are interested. I'm thinking of going w/ SRAM shifter and rear derailleur now that they are trigger. 1:1 shifting and sweet looks.
