please don't remove it this time.
ok im getting a new bike and i have narrowed it down to 2 bikes, the frame and spec are almost the same but one has 03 z1 qr and the other has 05-06 stance flows w/20mm and 120-150 adjustment, what are the pros/cons of each fork are the stances as plush as the z1's?. will the adjustment system last?
thanks

Z1's are most likely much better but I have not seen the condition so it's hard to judge. And what bikes are these that you are talking about

i got sum stance flows... 05 i think, they pretty damn plush, so plush in fact that i had 2 put a harder spring in 2 get used 2 them... im 6ft3" and 100kg+ and they've held up 2 the battering i give em. ive had em for about 6 months now... no complaints

do yourself a favour and get the bike with the marzocchi forks.. much better than stances

both bikes are jamis komodo's and there both new, the one with the marzochi's is an 03 model that has been siting in the shop for a while,my brother has one of these and its a great bike, the other is an 06 fx3.0 and i havent seen one of these yet, just pictures, it looks just as good but im not sure how reliable manitu's adjustment is. the z1's have the eta thing wich is good for long climbes(im not realy into that sort of thing)
both bikes are around $1800 so price is not much of a deciding factor
thanks

Definately the marzocchi Z1's way better than than stances which seem to feel extremely crappy ALL the time and have a tendency to rebound in sections on my old ones

Definately the z1's, much stiffer, the flow's are plush like a mofo.
