Anyone ridden this fork?
 
http://www.jensonusa.com/store/produ...tain+3+07.aspx Anyone tried it?

I need a better fork for my kona shred. I am 150 lbs and like to ride a variety of stuff but mostly just trail riding with many climbs, decents, and tall roots. A few drops usually not over 3 feet for now. I need something more plush then the stock fork which feels more like a pogo stick then a shock. Any advice would be appreciated.

I have the All Mountain 3 and it is a pretty good fork.

BUT it is the wrong fork for a Shred. Way too long and will ruin the handling of your bike.

Have any recomendations for a shorter fork that will work with my existing hub? I would go with a 20mm thruaxle but I dont have the cash to change hubs right now or the desire really.

well a budget would help... http://www.jensonusa.com/store/produ...n+Fork+07.aspx RockShox Tora. $275, adjusts from 85-130mm i dunno, just a suggesion to start. i take it your an all mountain XC rider?

that bike is a djing bike, just like the cowan and the scrap, they are all meant for 100mm of travel, and dj bike usually have either a very stiff fork such as a marz dj or a rigid fork

if you put money into it, get air. that way you can drop the pressure for trails.

i personnaly like coils, because you never have to fill them, they won't loose air in the course of a ride. if you feel like changing the amount of air in your fork before and after you hit the trails have fun, but i would stick with the coil or even a coil with air assist

I thought I put the budget in there sorry. I need it below 350$ That tora looks nice I'll have to look into it. I do use the bike for some dirtjumping but for that I can always swap over to my old fork which does well at that. I need a better fork for the XC style trails that I do.

well theyre are going to be some crazy deals on jenson soon, with all the new stuff coming in, maybe look at something more expensive when they drop the price

mtnbk3000 08-31-07 09:17 PM

look for older models of really nice forks, or maybe oems
