^^^ i'd agree

juicy5 or shimano deores, and think abour the 24/36/ bashring combo, it's way more versatile.

Theyre alright for their price, But 4 of my mates have stance forks, they have had to replace seals frequently because they bust out and leak oil everywhere. If you want a good STRONG dirtjump fork go for a Marz DJ 1,2 or 3 fork, very strong and they will outlast stance by far

I assume you mean deore brakes ?

they are great, pretty cheap (now) and they just work, i bleed them every time i get a new sets of pads and i think the only way to break 'em is to stack and mangle the levers. you can upgrade to XT rotors for more power.

i now run saint which use the same levers but with a different caliper.
