Serendipity Posted August 22, 2008 Share I'll go with the Crow on this one. The fork is imo the life of the ride. There should't be that much difference in the shifting but the difference in the handling would be clear. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Racer X Posted August 24, 2008 Share I am a RS man though and through, easy to service, cheaper than the competition and just as plush if you get the oils levels/densities right Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GoLefty!! Posted August 24, 2008 Share 2nd RacerX on that. IMO RS is best value for money and super sweet performer. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Iwan Kemp Posted August 29, 2008 Share + 1 for Rock Shox. Any and all. Reba, Revelation, Pike, Lyrik all great forks. Pitty the wait for the new Rev was so long... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Iwan Kemp Posted August 29, 2008 Share Just remember to take the pressure guide on the leg as just that: a GUIDE. Ran my Rev 30psi under recommended pressure. Reba was 20PSI less than recommended. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
