Are you sure that fork isn't overkill? I just googled that frame and I'm thinking it might be. You definately will NOT need to put any air in that fork, at my weight, I have very little sag. You should have none. The brake mounts are where the Caliper is mounted onto the fork, mine broke off. The fork is still ridable, but it needs new lowers. It's a great fork. Oh and if you didn't notice, mine is a Z1 fr 3 as well.

What do you mean by overkill? In relation to the frame atleast.

I couldn't tell if from the pictures if it was an FR 3 or not, but I gathered that it was from this:

I was thinking that fork might be too much for a more XC style bike.

Meh, it's already payed for and I've found others who've done what I plan to do (Case in point) so I don't think it will come out bad.

Atleast I hope not...

It does for me. Give me a second and I'll mirror it on my webserver.

EDIT: Try this.

All I can make of the text is "Freak."

Does that ring any bells?
