i dont go near rockshox ever since i saw these forks break in like a month and seeing the internals, theyre all made out of plastic. besides ive got an 06 coiler frameset so im running drop off IVs at 150mm
i had the 09 one of this, couldnt find anything but problems with it, now been sold on... But mate, yours looks fabby. 10/10 for effort and money thats been thrown at it! think you've spent more on it that maybe what you bought it for?
If they're Dart 1 forks, watch out, i was doing a climb on it leaning over the handlebars and the bloody spring shot out of the top and fractured my collar bone, took it out with halfords and all they offered was a replacement bike....
Yeh what out mate and make sure the tops of the legs ont forks are properly tightened ;)
Gu'Job
yeah i found alot of problems and replaced them with dh/fr/dj parts costing about £300(bought the bike for £250) so its kinda an all rounder. and finally someone else who has suffered from the plagues of the dart 1 they are absolutely horrible im getting some marzocchi marathons.
