OK, this one I know. Zoom are fitted to bikes that dont justify the expense of an RST.

LMAO... I guess I got my answer

Oh and if it helps... I ride fairly hard and am 5'11 @ 190lbs

Well in a way. You can tell from the picture where the "limit" line is for the travel on the stanctions and its where the lower crown is situated. Also, it has 100 mm of travel which is about where the lower crown is anyway.

I think your best bet is an 02 super T. It has V brake mounts, and has 20mm TA. They are cheap too. It might be a little bit flexy with its 30mm stanchions though.

Okay, so they're easier to track down that i thought. But if his bike came with single crown RSTs i doubt it could take Supers.

The EXRs really fit my budget nicely, AND I like that idea of installing stiffer springs.
