No, they have elastomers as well as springs. The only pure elastomer fork I've seen is Rik's Mozo, and it may as well be rigid.boonga said:RST suck
they have no ajustability or anything, no dampening and elasoma instead of springs.
but they are a $200 commuting fork.boonga said:the RSTs are not worth the $200 you pay for them. The feel ridgid and break like nothing youve ever seen before
Well I was stupid enough , and guess what? They're still in one piece, and I'll probably put them on the bike that I plan on building up for my little brother. When I was 14, I (and my parents) couldn't afford any better, so I got these, I took care of them and I rode them hard. I knew that weren't made for it, but I wanted to ride that way so I did. I did however make sure to check them on a very regular basis for any sort of problem, and I knew that if I did kill them I had only myself to blame.lupine128 said:i have a set of pre-disc ('00 i think) rst 381's that are still perfect. they get ridden every week, and are like new. but i won't even jump 3 stairs with them cause i'm not stupid enough to think thats what they are made for.
you get what you pay for.
i disagree, these forks are useless, i dont expect them to preform like higher end forks, but i expected more than what they gave melupine128 said:but they are a $200 commuting fork.boonga said:the RSTs are not worth the $200 you pay for them.

anyone with a spare brain cell left after breathing knows not to expect $1200 performance or durability form a $200 fork.
the forks are actualy very good at what they do. they provide absolute base level entry forks for people who are probably either going to use them for a cpl of weeks till they break (and then run round the net going "OMFG these forks are crap"[in which case why did you keep them dickhead] ) or they will be used for years by people who just want to take the jolt out of cycle paths.
