  1. Thanks for all the help people and I am sorry I am asking dumb questions
    about the Bullit but I am new.

    So I got the bullit almost done. What would be a good dual crown fork for
    it? I don't plan on racing just hucking and freeriding. Jr T? Super T?
    Boxxer?

    I am just looking for advice and personal experiences.

    Thnx..

    Here is the scoop.

    If you want durability go with anything Marzzochi.

    If you want tuneability get a boxer race. You will be fixing it more often.

    If you want a little of both. Get a Manitou sherman If you have the cash.
    Get the Dorado. But to put a Dorado on a bike like a bullit is real
    overkill. You wouldn't be able to appreciate the Dorado on a bike like
    that.

    There are other good forks out there. I could go on. It sounds like you
    need to ride for a bit on something before you make a choice. You need
    experience before you know what you want.

    I found a used 2002 Jr T... is that the year and model you have? Are those
    8" rotors on your fork? Anyone have problems running 8" rotors on a 02 Jr
    T?

    It is very tunable. Boxxer would be cheaper, and break more. Does this
    years Super T have adjustable lower clamp? The point that I failed to make
    is that RS is much less durable than Marzzochi.

    Well that's true. Yes the 04 is adjustable at the lower clamp. The 03 with
    cryofit is available for $699 which is about the same as the RockSux.

    This may be true of other RS models, but I can't say I've heard of many
    Boxxer problems. Certainly no less than the 'zocchi equivalents.

    I know a number of folks with Boxxer problems that have swithced back to
    Marzocchi.

    I use a 2002 model. Its as plush as a big fat cadillac on the trails. Yes,
    that is an 8" rotor on the front brake. No problems.
