For starters, the RS is a maintenance nightmare.
As for my Psylo......so far, so good, and works just fine. I
don't like the idea of having to tear it down several times
a year to service it, though.
I'm already saving my pennies, to get a Fox, or Marzocchi.
Model TBA at a later date.

Aggressive street? Where the heck is that? In any case,
why would you possibly want to ride someplace with a name
like that?

That is what we call urban asault.

Urban assault? You get attacked when you ride there? you are
making it sound less and less appealing. I guess I'm glad I
live in a safe, relatively non-violent town...

With that attittude you may find that people start treating
you different. BTW - I realize you are just being a smart
a$$ and I think it is funny.

Been there done that. Have got the 03 Psylo Race. Have not
have good experience with them although warranty came
through and they are working fine - now- if not a little
soft for your/my weight. I'd try the Marzocchi, cant be any
worse than the RS.... ;-)
