  1. I have these RST Gila t4... They have this preload adjuster on the top. it does F*%K all... Maybe
    very slight difference... am I doing something Wrong ? are they poo ? They have 89mm travel which is
    good enough for my Insane Urban Kerb Hopping (IUKH) antics. but when they rebound will they bounce
    back onto a rubber bushing. or am i slowly killing them ?>> they are a few days old. Should I sell
    them while they are still Mint. and Upgrade to something I can really sink my teeth into ? or shut
    my whinging ? cheers

    p.s i made IUKH up.

    Get this first - I have never used RST forks.

    Then - RST forks are awful.

    There, you can tell I know what I'm on about can't you?

    Seriously, they are not very good at all, but if they are working for you now, I'd say ride them
    into the ground, then buy some better ones. If you have money and want to spend it now, then I'd say
    go buy some Marzocchi forks (go to bike shop, ask about them, pick theone you like/works for you/you
    can afford/comes in the shiniest colour).
