Really I'm searching for forks (new, 07 or 08) with these specs:
Travel: 100mm to 130mm. Travel ajust possibly.
Lowers: Magnesium preffered
Steerer: Alloy preferred, Cromo also
Staunchions: Alloy preffered, Cromo also
Ajustibility: Rebound, Air and Oil Weights minimum
Axle: Must be 20mm.
Weight: 2kg to 2.6kg
Not the new 08 'zocchis, hate the pinch bolt crowns... and 4X 1million$?
Not Rockshox Argyles. Ridden them and hated the feel.
Possibly 07/08 Rockshox pikes with U-Turn, what differs between the models?
Possibly 07/08 Manitou Gold Label II's, any opinions? I'm drifting this way...
Or maybe I just ask to much from fork manufacturers.
Now, for new Hubsets:
Axles: Must be 20mm front Bolt-up 10mm rear. NO QR.
Bearing type: Sealed
Weight: Reasonably light, im not hard on my gear at all.
Rear Cassette: 9spd.
Disc Mounts: Standard 6-bolt or Centrelock, I dont mind.
Budget: Mid Range. No DaBomb (too heavy) and no Profile (to costly)
I'm changing from DT Swiss Onyx, because I can no longer run QR without my hub pivoting in my horizontal dropouts. even hella tight and chain tensioners.
Does Woodman still make hubs? they used to be nice...
I need help guys. I had my eye on woodman hubs, but i dont know if they are still imported into Aus. Also considering those Manitou Gold Labels...
All help is much appreciated.
