For light trail riding, the capa will be a good fork, I have ridden on them and they seem pretty plush. Specialized bikes rule.

The Specialized Hardrock is a nice inexpensive bike that is worthy of upgrades. First thing to be upgraded...the fork!

I got a Norco Wolverine with a RST Capa CL fork. I'm getting used to the sound of it bottoming out every time I go over a jump or a drop. The fork will be my first upgrade!

Just ride it until you either wear out the the parts and replace them or until they bother you enough to throw more money at your bike. It's still an OK bike.

I don't think anybody uses spell check beofore they post here.
And why are you complaining about shorthard when you are using them yourself and your spelling is off also.

P.s i purposely f#cked up the spelling and grammer and used shorthand on my post just for you.
