[Adi]

4x an orange 222

I dunno, fork makers are liking the bigger numbers these days...

out with the zocchi 1s/2s/3s etc and in with the 888s/150s......

 

[Unimployed]

sweet. looks good too

 

[Ty]

z150 = 150 mm of travel, sorry i'm just used to pro audio gear where every name means something, 888 AD/DA converter = 8 in/8out/8midi, 196m sound card = 196 K sample rate etc you can normaly get alot of info from names i've found.

 

[Scott]

Yeah, I get your point. I'm thinking tho, that not everything has to have a meaning. But then again, if the engineers of these new creations have some sort of input into the naming of things you know there are going to be some wacked numbers in there somewhere.

 

[Turley]

hahah, Pana, naming this realy isn't as easy as you are putting it out to be. What is the use of having a name if it means nothing? Also, it is alot easier to name something if the name as a meaning. Go build a track then sit down at the end of it and try and think of a name, if nothing has happened during the building, then the task is rather hard to get a decent name.

 

[Scott]

lol, any track I have built had the prefix 'meat' in it... it was pre-determined

meat-bix is in my backyard

Unfortunatley meat-bix is more of an abandoned project, hopefully one day it will be completed and achieve the glorious status it was meant to have.

Along the lines of names meaning anything.. I'm not sure meat has any basis.. but then again.. I'm one strange mutha..

 

[S.]

ok it's 8 inchs, 8 pounds, 8 inch rotor

(thanks Incubus @ ridemonkey)

Or 8", 8lbs, $8k
Or 2.8 tyre clearance, or 8 bolts holding it together, or 8 prototypes exist, or 8 biscuits or 8....

Don't believe everything you read mate! Those are purely rumours from the over-self-educated crew at RM

 

[skillz]

or $888

 

[S.]

Not bloody likely, top end DH forks are about 3-4x that amount!

 

[xxsethsxx]

Yeah, DHing is just like skiing, def. need that $$$. But looks like another good fork so it makes my next decision even tougher.
