tell me what you think...Marzocchi DJ or the Manitou Stance Static....both good street/dj forks...but what serves the greatest level of performance and which is the cheapest, and also, what holds up to be the strongest....

Djers. The stance is proving to be more of a flop than anything

I have heard the stances blow alot of their seals, so I would go with the DJ's.

Dj's.... many stories of the tube spinning in the corwn, and bending and snapping from small things such as bunnyhops and wheelies..
