Have u ppl's seen the new (05) DJ Streets. They are bolt thru so you can fit pegs, have 80mm travel and removable arches. i reckon they would be sick fitted onto a DMR Rythym Complete bike.

Yeah, great fork if you don't mind lugging over 7lbs of lard around with you...

Good idea, shithouse execution. Not everyone rides street with the smoothness of a elephant with a sore head. Can't people who don't bend everything they touch have a street fork too Mr Marzocchi? ala sherman jumper.

If you're smooth you can just use an EXR :lol:

First it was a hippo (http://www.farkin.net/forums/viewtopic.php?p=212742#212742), now it's an elephant. Either way, it's the funniest simile I've seen used on here for a long while :lol:

Well Leech gets away with running a MX Comp. (http://www.ryanleech.com/hardware/) So you're right to an extent.

Anyway, great idea for a fork, shame it's fucken huge. Bring back something like ye olde Z1 Dual, that's the perfect street/jump fork. Bump it up to 32mm stanchions, use boltup everything, maybe incorporate some dropout guards (forget the idea of peg mounts though), but keep the damn weight down too!

Leech spends most of his time on the rear wheel so his fork choice is a little shady, but i know what you mean. Those old 4in Z-1's with a proper bolt up axle and 32mm stanchions would be great. I'd invest in pair for sure.

Leech spend most of his time on his rear wheel :? I don't think so, but I agree with you, not the best example of using a street fork.

I have an old Z1 spaced down to three inches of travel and I love it. 5 pounds of streety goodness. It is just a pity I don't have a bike for it to go on right now.
