OK, so let me ask this... Based on everyting I've ever
read here, the majority opinion seems to the that RS is
not a great product... is there a good reason to
reconsider this and maybe look at a RS?

...and wrote this.

I don't think you are clueless, but Mr. Harris has
listed two things wheich I have not found to be true,
and at least one that you have *experienced* not to be
true: That RS shocks are durable and "work well."

After which, Bomba lifted the cluestick high and smacked
Jonesy with this...

Read the question and response again Mr Jones. We were
talking about Marzocchi Bombers, not Rock Shox.

I see it all now - the clue I needed so desperately.
Thank you! 🙂

Sorry about the confusion, I mis-read the comments
completely.

Jeez, eat two crows in as many days. Thanks, no, I'm full -
couldn't eat another bite.

How do you like that fork? How much do you weigh? Also,
how is the lateral stiffness? I have not ruled one of
those out, which is why I ask.

Sorry, didn't see this before (more server woes -- seems
to be a Thursday Thing?!?).

Overall, I like the fork. Wheel isn't the stiffest, so
sometimes hard to judge fork's, but I think it's
definitely more rigid than my previous

Mine's a 2002 model, I think, so the newer closeout models
are probably better. (I know they're beefier, made more
for disc brakes than earlier forks were.)

Thanks for the input. I'm running a Psylo right now, and
it's pretty stiff, so what ever I go to, I don't want to
lose much, is any, there. Still undecided though, if I want
to go air, or stick with the heavier coil forks. The Psylo's
been good to me so far, but I'll be having to tear it down
soon for maintenance......something I will not be doing as
much of, with a 'Zoke, or Fox. Maybe I'll go ahead and stick
those Enduro seals in when I tear it down.
