I didn't know you could use those Fox forks on folders.<br /><br />Seriously, the less expensive forks should do the trick for "typical" city riding; just don't ride down stairs :-)Yokota Fritzhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04808661100114872654noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4734363362399164430.post-32182140925502575112010-05-13T18:44:27.876-07:002010-05-13T18:44:27.876-07:00Yeah, that's what I've heard about Zoom...Yeah, that's what I've heard about Zoom's. However, I do know that a local MTB shop is able to rebuild suspension forks. I don't know what they do, but I imagine it involves putting in new elastometers and grease. Do you have any recomendations for a fork?<br /><br />I see that downtube has some other forks, but they're pretty high priced. One is around $1000, i think.pedaling foolhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03870993417437182473noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4734363362399164430.post-29132410069835494172010-05-13T15:25:48.951-07:002010-05-13T15:25:48.951-07:00Zoom's are about as low end as you can get on ...Zoom's are about as low end as you can get on suspension forks, FWIW. If you're hopping curbs they'll last about a year, assuming your frame and steering tube hinges survive the damage you're inflicting on them. On something like your Downtube those elastomer forks are meant mostly to cushion road bumps.Yokota Fritzhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04808661100114872654noreply@blogger.com
