Thoughts?

I was looking at the DUC32, but I don't know anyone who has one around here. They make a Hope Pro II conversion kit for my frt. hub.

I like that they're only 3.5lbs with a TA...I don't like that it's air sprung. I'm possibly going fork shopping next spring. I read a review on it in MBA. They said it was too squishy and blew through its travel too quickly for aggressive riding. To me, a fork that's too squishy just needs a little more air, so I don't know why this was an issue.

Is it a decent all mountain fork? It doesn't have compression / rebound adj?

I AM a fork up.

Not quite the rave review I was hoping for.

Thanks

I'm seconding the recommendation of a pike. The maxle seriously makes life easier. I'm regretting selling mine.

It always seems to come back to that freakin' PIKE. I guess I'm going to seriously consider it due to the rash of wonderful reviews I keep hearing. It's about time I bite the bullet and add 1/2lb to my bike and quit crying about it. The 20mm does sound nice. I did notice a little flex on my last ride with my Vanilla. I hadn't really ever noticed it before, but I'll probably feel it all the time now.

Thats just you looking for a reason to buy a new toy.

Get. The. Pike. And the Hope 20mm adapters. Very, very well worth the slight bit of extra weight.
