Well, here's my so far trusty steed:  And now for one with my ugly mug thrown in:  Anyway, specs: 2014 XL frame in Neon Green Marzocchi CR350 forks Hope Tech 3 E4's front and rear 200mm floating rotors front and rear Rock Shox Reverb SRAM X9 rear mech and shifter Truvativ 40mm stem Superstar 32t front chainring Hope Basguard NukeProof Electron flats Future upgrades? Well, I'm looking to get a CaneCreek rear shock, potentially an InLine, or DB Air, yet to decide. Also looking to stealth out the drivetrain and get rid of the red bash and get a black narrow/wide. |

They're absolutely incredible. I've managed to find a nice sweetspot for compression and rebound as well. Eunning them at a slightly lower PSI so they're lovely and supple over the bumpy stuff. I found if I put them to what they suggested it felt as if they were on a lockout setting, requiring only the biggest impacts to actually make the forks do anything.

Yeah that's what they were like in the past, i always did the same as you, like you say when you set it up right they are amazing, really solid precise forks, theyre a good price too from what i see, some forks, especially FOX and BOS are stoopid with the prices right now |

Thanks! I'm also tempted to go with a Marzocchi rear shock when the latest ones are released (can't find any UK based retailer that stocks their current line up), will just need to wait upon the reviews I think.
