Matchstix Posted April 21, 2015 Posted April 21, 2015 I can either buy a second hand x-fusion velvet(that will be serviced, Or a brand new formula 33 What would you buy?
Frosty08 Posted April 21, 2015 Posted April 21, 2015 Formula 33. I have had two Formulas (33 and currently on the 35) and have never ridden anything close to as smooth and responsive as a Formula. Servicing and back up is also very good.
GoLefty!! Posted April 21, 2015 Posted April 21, 2015 haven't owned a Formula or ridden one so can't make a definitive comment but reviews and rider feedback seems good and serviceability seems as good as anything else out there locally
ACM Posted April 21, 2015 Posted April 21, 2015 I have a x-fusion shock that came with a frame I bought (nee) and the only 'issue' I have is that the inly 'service centre' for x-fusion is in CPT. They are not supplying parts (like seals) to LBS. So for me staying in gauteng it means... Remove shock (seperate to bike service at LBS)Courier shock down to CPTGet it servicedCourier back up to Gauteng I like life simple - this for me is unnessary slept!!! And additional courier costs vs just dropping the bike or shock at my LBS. There were talks that x-fusion wants to open service centre in gauteng, but I'm unsure if they have gotten that far. So maybe check with them. If you stay in CPT it's obviously less of a problem. Other than that, the shock has NO problems and I prefer it above the fox rp2 (pro-peddle) which I had on another bike.
Hairy Posted April 21, 2015 Posted April 21, 2015 I ride the velvet fork and rather like it.....alot.
Hairy Posted April 21, 2015 Posted April 21, 2015 Nice thing about the velvet is that it can run 650b too, and not as a mcgyver, but as per manufacturer's recommendation
