any good deals on fox float rlc fit 15qr's? or just the rl fit 15qr's from 2010 going anywhere also? just thinking if the new 11 stuff is coming jump on the bargain train 🙂 mate is after a pair said id keep an eye out for him 🙂
Saw some guys pile out of a Cube Bikes van at Cannock Chase last weekend and one of their bikes had the 180mms so I guess they are now doing the rounds.
Looked nice.
Yes, got them last week, although I am in California. Had 2 rides out, and they are super sweet. Surpising how nice they are out the box, considering my RC2s took a good 3 weeks to bed in.
Obviously they look pimp, and I'm liking the black and gold. For me the single stage reduction to 120mm is perfect, as I always found 100mm felt too short for my frame. Also I was always a fan of the Lockout on previous Talas as I prefer to climb a lot out the saddle (years with a SS) so I like the new lock out. All in all, pretty darn pleased.
I've stuck them on a new build, Yeti 575. Full XTR / Easton Carbon, Crossmax SX, Highroller 2.35's. Comes in at 27.9lb with my XC pedals on.
Wouldn't like to say, depends how good people are with their maintainance as with other Fox products.
The idea is to give the customer something exclusive to aftermarket forks and that the coating has less 'stiction'. Don't think it's marketed as having better durability.
Mail for price btw. 😉
So does the Kashima coating open up Mojo/Fox UK to small claims court action regarding 'manufacturing defect'?
Theres a problem. Fox say its lack of regular maintenance. Yet the next year they bring out 'Kashima coating'.
Right. Its tenuous to argue that they were protecting customers against themselves when other manufacturers don't have this problem?
Why would it open up Mojo/Fox to small claims court action? Kashima is simply an aftermarket coating that's been around for years on Motorcycles, particularly Moto X. It's usually seen as an upgrade from standard OE on makes such as Showa and kayaba. Fox are merely tapping into established technology that does offer a performance upgrade – its nothing to do with form, and all to do with functionality. I'm certain you could send some 32mm stantions off to a moto x suspension specialist and have them coated.
Just like there was a problem with the Orange 222 so they changed it to a 223, then 224 then 224 evolution?
Just like there was problem with the Mk1 Escort, so they changed to a Mk2,3,4… Focus Mk1, Mk2…
Basically its plain and simple product development and trying to keep ahead of the game. I think if a company identifies there is a better product out there that out performs what they curently use, then why shouldn't they use it? It just doesn't make sense to say that bringing out an evolution of a massively succesful and highly regarded product is an admission that what they previously used is not fit for purpose.
Silly question I think but does fox or any other bike shop offer a trade in offer as i have some 2009 Talas in mint condition but would like to upgrade to the 2011 for weight saving??? I should add they 36's
I know leaisure Lakes take bikes in part-ex, so they may do you a deal. However, you'd probably be better off selling them on here or somewhere similar and use the dosh from the sale.
