werent they the same as normal Jnr T's ie same damping except they had less travel so that they balanced the bike they were spec on better

this would mean they are the same as normal Jnrs

If that's the case, then they're 5" travel, aren't they?
I've been told they are OK for biggish hits, but small bump sensitivity is out the window.

I wouldn't mind one though, it'd be good for a hardtail.

well if they are the same as the 00 jr t's than i've owned a pair...
for me, a bike newb, the forks worked really really well compared to my z4s. confidence boost and i actually found the front end a lot stiffer... had a bit of trouble with bottoming out the fork, only cuz i'm a fat kent...
don't know much about the internals so i really can't say, but yeah they are nice forks...

i have JRT2, came stock with my VPS. The quick hit/small bump sensitivity is not the best, but it takes medium & big hits well. comes with 20ml QR, which is pretty stiff, but not as good as fixed 20ml (a la boxxer, manitou). I have had them taken apart and re oiled/built once in about 8 months, but thats because i bottomed out really bad , and oil was going everywhere.
They come set up 65-75 kg riders i believe, so if you are under or over that you might want to change oil rate or spring.

All in All, i have raced about 15 dh races on them, go riding every weekend, mainly DH, "freeride" as well as city rides & commuting and have very little trouble

would love some SuperT's but....
