Christmass present to myself

I got one last week. Tried it out tonight at 3 rock.
Great job. Smooth opp.
Can't go wrong with the price.
3 in travel is loads
Apparently they need maintenance after nearly every ride to keep them running smooth, bear that in mind! Deadly yokes though.

Might want to read a few of the prerides of the new fox and rockshox ones coming out in the new year before you decide. Obviously way more money but from people who know a bit about seals etc.
darragh
I had one of these and they are crap. 3 " is too short , go for a 5" one to really get the saddle out of the way. There is a lot of side to side play from new and internal key wears very fast so the play gets worse. The seals are terrible and it needs lots of stripping( mine siezed up afer a wet week in the alps one year.), cleaning and regreasing to keep smooth. Also the under seat lever system is not really user friendly as you need to let go the bars to use.
I would recommed the pure racing model.

I've had one for a year and its never given any trouble. The bar remote is really neat and easy to use as well.
why are they half price? cause nobody wants them!
The bike rack have the pure racing model. well worth the exta.
Joe is right Darragh. half price as nobody wants them. They give nothing but trouble.
I've seen the Rock shock one in the flesh and it's the daddy but it's stupidly priced. That one joe recomends is very similar and about 60 lids cheaper worth the extra for the reliability, extra function and drop.
If your on a budget though ? well 3 inchs of drop is better than riding down hill with the saddle up your hole
Ahh you're all a bunch of whingebags, if mine lasts a total of 1 hour over three runs next year it is money well spent. Boo yeah!
Daragh your a loser if you buy one of them.. in any form.... they were invented for excuse monger lady boy biker's who have no bike handling skills whatsoever and need every excuse under the sun to justify their sh!tness and complete lack of abilities...

It only takes 2 seconds to adjust your saddle... if putting your saddle up and down is that important to you then you shouldn't be a mountainbiker... take up knitting or some other p!ss artist past time...

Hahahaha thanks Gerry!!!!
Well i invented mountainbiking and i think they are the Dogs..if you want one buy one..but buy it from your local bike shop.
i have found they have improved my mountainbiking drastically !!
Daragh..if you want one, buy one.
And if Mac the knife had the business sense i assume him to have, he'd be selling them himself !!
