a new for needs to be opened up, slickhonwy on the seals and shafts, and new oil in the lowers.. "i hate rockshows, never felt good" ; " I didnt like my XXX, felt horrible", these are many times first impressions on a new fork that was cooked from factory, ... more »

be careful to go back to the game with a bike that puts you off, frustrates your energy to keep pushing it.. it all comes down to budget.. you can pedal and get fit on a $300 huffy...
