I've been offered a killer deal on a this fork by my LBS and was wondering if anyone here has any experience with them, as well as any hub reccomendations to fit the 20mm axle on it.
fork info can be found here: http://www.hanebrink.net/forks/g-series/index.html The one being offered to me is the 6" travel version. given it's a heavy fork, but withteh stuff I've been doing, the manitou hasnt been cutting it, so it's time for an upgrade....and well, might as well overkill it if I can afford to. :)
BTW I'm not much of a jumper, but I do like messing with smoe seriously rough trails, and prefer to power through things (instead of finesse) as much as possible...so on the other side of this...would this type of fork even be suitable to my type of riding?
