Well the Ibis is about to get a rigid fork put back on it. Not that there is a problem with this SID, its just that I like the feel of a rigid fork. All my MTB rides are on smooth fire road and singletrack now. I've used SID's since they first came out in early '98. I wish I still had my original. Yeah, they take a bit more maintenance but I don't mind it. Once you have it down and a few spare parts they are easy to work on.
