On rockshoxs' website, I dont see anything about rider weight. I was wondering if he read it wrong, and it was 200lbs. of air? I weigh 235lbs. plus clothes and armor. Is this a fork for me or will i just destroy it. Any info would help, thanks. _________________ Timmay, Timmay, Live It Loud, Timmay!!!

If that was the weight limit, Rennie blows that out of the water. That guy is around 225. _________________ I'm against picketing, but I don't know how to show it.

I always see you trash talking the WC's and its hard to belive for me. They are the best performing fork that I've ridden (40 comes a close second). I mean I am a 150lb rider but I do however thrash the shit out of my fork and bikes for that matter and the only issue I've ever had with the ones that I've owned was the stock seals from the 06' started leaking at Whistler, but once I replaced them it hasn't acted up at all to this day. I also still ride with the guy who has my 04' which I think was the first year for the solo air and his is dryer than can be.... An oil change a season can go a long way. _________________ Who will babysit the babysitters? http://www.nycfreeride.com http://www.readingracing.com Posted: Wed Jun 25, 2008 7:23 pm Style 495mtbcrew   Joined: Sep 7, 2002 Posts: 6734 Location: Foxboro Ma that would make no sense what so ever, cause even a 150 lb person can exert a ton or more of weight on a bike when they do a drop Posted: Wed Jun 25, 2008 9:05 pm MxPw17_RR Burner   Joined: Feb 18, 2004 Posts: 207 Location: Tahoe/Stroudsburg, PA ...thus proving my point further?? _________________ Who will babysit the babysitters? http://www.nycfreeride.com http://www.readingracing.com Posted: Thu Jun 26, 2008 8:32 am Adrian Team Hcor.net   Joined: Jan 16, 2003 Posts: 1154 Location: NYC MxPw17_RR wrote: Adrian wrote: i personaly think the fork is crap, its my second one that ive owned, an after a weekend of hard riding, you have to take am apart an rebuild. gets kinda of annoying...

I know that have nothing to do with anything but I just wanted to chime in. I would like a WC just for the adjustability of the air spring _________________ Ride a road bike 26" wheels are for gays Re: boxxer world cup Posted: Thu Jun 26, 2008 11:33 am bigron All-City   Joined: Jul 26, 2004 Posts: 806 Location: long island boogenman wrote: my team pisses oil from the floodgate knob.

Manitou, Fox, Rock Shox can't handle my brilliant riding. I loved my Boxxer WC for 6 weeks until the air side went - then the compression side lost adjustment. It's back at SRAM and I have a Boxxer Team for backup. I actually like the feel of the air fork over the spring. It just feels smoother - at least while it was working. Don't get me started on Fox, great simple fork that needs some stronger lowers or smaller diameter tubes. I think either the Team or WC could handle you, just don't land short on the doubles.

The only downside is they are 4 pounds heavier than the fox 40. I'm 210 (not sure what I weigh with gear on) & I love mine, best $ I ever spent on anything bike related.
