i think that i was on halisinative drugs when i put this is the post ur ride section! :P
just been one of those days
i have mine set on 80mm. They feel awesome and you travel sooo fast through a rhythm. Very stiff and light forks IMO. :)
9.5/10

i have a pair of the 125r and they are awesome for everything. i set them on 100mm travel and they couldn't be better (except say when i get my heavier springs)
I heartily recomment these forks.

i herd that they come with one hevier spring, that's awsome!
but i like the forks fairly firm so i would probley get 2 heavier springs

Ive seen a set with cracks all around the steer in the top crown and all around the stanchions in the crown, so take what u will. But this was only 1 set, others if seen have been fine.

For the money there is nothing to compare them to. I have them and i love them, but then again if i could have i would have bought a Sheman Jumper (which i hope to when i get some money). They are stiffer than most single clamp forks, the only real downside is the creaking that they make- i am yet to ride one which is quiet.
Initially i found the stocko springs too soft, hence the forks were really hard to preload, but after some new springs they are a lot better.

With what you were saying about putting 2 heavier springs in, DON'T do it.
If you read the manual, fox tell you that you only replace the left hand spring. I weigh about 85kg and am currently running a 35lb (green) spring which is far too soft, so i am upgrading to a 45lb (yellow) spring wich should be about perfect.
put it this way, they like riders who are less than 80kg preferably around 70kg. Or just someone that is super smooth. Jarrah has had his fox forx for ages and they are still going strong and dont tell me he doesnt go big.
Daver. Mine dont creak. Possibly because they are set on 80mm, i weigh around 60kg, im not too sketchy and dont go big on them. :oops:

yea well im not really arguing weather they r smooth, this i now, just wonderin weather the HOLd up, i am the type of person who likes to get something and ride it , not fuck about with breaking shit!
i am reasonmbly heavy bout 94 kgs but im not to hacky and dont "Huck"er burger either
they feel great... awesome even..... but unless your a weedy little kid , thats super smooth..... they wont last. I went through 3 crowns. Go shermans instead.
