I'm trying to help someone buy a decent MTB. I'm looking at the GT Avalanche 2.0 (V-brake) which, compared to several other bikes in this price range, seems like a very decent buy. The rearderailleur is Alivio and the front is Acera, which is at least better then the CO50 SIS many others have. It's also 8-spd and has Alex DM-18 doublewall rims instead of 7-spd and singlewall rims wich many other bikes are equipped with. Anyway, in the US it has a RS Judy TT fork, but here (Europe) the fork is a Mozo R-200. I'm not familiar with Mozo forks so I would like an opinion on it from someone who is. And please, don't go saying its all crap and *****. Remember, it's a $500 MTB so I would like to know how it compares to other forks that are on bikes in this price range such as the Suntour XC-60, RST Capa, RST Gila, InSync, etc.
