One step closer
New Forks!
Needed 140mm of travel to suit this new frame. Spoke to a few friends in the know and they convinced me to go for a through axle for extra stiffness. So, it came down to a decision between an air-sprung fork, or a coil sprung fork. In the end I went with the new 2009 Rockshox Revelation, its a Dual-air fork (much like the Reba's I had before), and was 400gms lighter than a comparable coil fork. Comes with a pushloc remote lockout which has a nicer actuation than the old poploc that I have tried a few times.
Still waiting on a few parts, fingers crossed I might have it running for this weekend, going away with 13 others from the Tauranga MTB club to do a bunch of riding around the central plateau.
