Has/Is anyone used/using White Brothers suspension forks? I am interested in their build quality and thier performance. I know they are expensive but I want to know if they are worth it? I am specifically interested in teh DT 1.2 i think it is but info on any of thier forks would be great....
cheers

I haven't used the WB forks, or know anyone personally that has them- but word over on MTBR.com's boards is that THEY ARE THE SHIT; their XC forks anyways. I cant see why the DH forks would be much diiferent in quality.

I also heard from accross the pond, there is abit of a wait to get them. Cant confirm that for Australian customers though.

White Brothers would that be the same company that makes Mx Stuff

The old UD150s were great. But a lack of product support saw a fork go in the bin well before its used by date.

I'd stick to the big three. At least you'll be able to get parts.

Parts are only available if you bring them in yourself. Even then, I don't know how well the new owners are coping with the production of them. Beautiful forks, as far as I know they're well made in most cases, but lack of any servicing in Australia is a real hassle, making it not worth your time.

Didn't the DH3 have issues with major overdamping?
