As a matter of fact I have one on my Haro 357. Love it! performs perfectly for me. I like it more than the Junior T that I had on my previous DH bike. I'm a big guy and tend to ride hard, not one problem or complaint yet.
You should be able to get a new one for about 650 bux, just check on Q-bike... _________________ Everything you wanted to know about downhill mountain biking at Whiteface but were afraid to ask!!! www.downhillmike.com

Sounds like a winner. I can actuallly get a really good deal through
my bike shop....about 4 bills brand new. Just wanted to replace the original
Marzzochi Drop Off triple....it smacks sooo hard. And the rebound adjustment is internal.....what a pain. The fork works nice, I just want nicer..
Thanks for the input.
soon we ride. _________________ Shut up and ride.! |

The drop off is a good choice for kids bikes (light rider), save it.... _________________ Everything you wanted to know about downhill mountain biking at Whiteface but were afraid to ask!!! www.downhillmike.com

Biases of sponsors aside, I went from a Super T last year to a 2007 Boxxer Team (1 step up from the Race) and actually like it quite a bit, aside from having 1 more inch travel.
I think the differences of the Team to the Race is having Floodgate (high & low speed compression adjustment). To be honest with you, I haven't really even messed with that, so you should be great with the Race!
I was also a little leary of maintenence, I heard the Boxxers were a little more finicky than Marzocchi's, but my team mates have pretty much 'set it and forget it' with their Boxxers, and they abuse it much more than me!
So there's my E-ponion, for what it's worth... _________________ Elevate Cycles|FTW Factory Racing|Blah|Blah|Blah |
