Great fork and well worth the money. There are a few of us here that have them. Next time you see Timmy or I ask us for a go and see for your self. Oh and you can get them in silver, black or white so you can get them to suit your bike. Your bike is blue and white isnt it?

I only recently purchased 203mm Triple Ti's. Have only put about 5 hrs in on them (break-in period is stated at 20) and they feel super plush already.

Came from 05 888's before these and compared to them the ride height is much better, and they feel so much lighter to ride. Rebound adjustment is good, I am still playing around with the intrinsic damping to get it right. But their ability to suck up the small and medium stuff without bottoming out excessively on bigger drops has been impressive.

They seem stiff and track really well, although I havent thrown them at any nasty stuff yet - it is winter and all......

The allround finish is good. Stickers on legs are pretty thick and will add some protection. The intergrated stem is great, with adjustment in the form of a spacer and the ability to run standard or fat bars. I have the 20mm quick release version. They nip up really tight, and have not even looked like coming loose. Much better than the set-up from a Super T that I owned a few years back.

The only thing I have noticed is that there is minor play in the bushings out of the box. I assume that this is built in, just slightly concerning at first having come from 888's which are such a solid unit. And anyway I havent noticed it while riding.

So far I would say that they are better in every department when compared to the 888, which I rated as a top fork. However the difference is not huge. Ride height and weight are the biggest factors I have noticed.

If they are anywhere near as reliable as the 888, I will be very happy. Those things were bomb proof.

Would be great to hear from anyone with servicing tips??
