I'm not a huge fan of these Inertia valves, especially when you've only got a p1ss-ant 80mms of travel. I want my suspension to work all the time, not when some rudimentary brass valve ( call that a brain? ) say's it's time to work.

Of the Fox forks, I like the F80 RLT for XC. However, my next MTB might possibly be a 29er, in which case I'm going to give the Maverick SC32 a whirl.

531, what shoes did you end up getting and how much did they sting ya? I broke my SPD's so now I have to get new shoes and pedals. I'm thinking the new Time RXE pedals and Sidi Genius Megawides might be the ticket.
