For DH action... Shiver DC. I don't ride enough DH to fully enjoy it so it's been sold. Getting a Sherman Breakout Plus this week. Should be pretty sweet.
Tuning forks are the best. I prefer the note of A myself. Nice for dialing in my tympany drums that I've incorporated into my drumset ala John "Bonzo" Bonham style.

If you go to the website it's pretty weird- it's all about spoon bending and such.
But get this- YOU JUST BEND IT WITH YOUR HANDS, and they tell you it's all magical. Sounds like a load of BS to me....
Oh, on a serious note-
I'm running a '03 Jr T , and it's doing its job quite well.

my Stratos S8 has taken everything I've doled out on it... and comes back for more, so, it's my favorite :)

I have to say my Stratos LR-1 was a damn nice fork. Wicked smooth and not overly heavy. The only thing that sucked was if you went through a real rough section for a long time, the lockout switch would slide over and you would start to loose travel.
I am also looking forward to the 2003 Monster T once the Ex-Heavy springs are installed on my soon to be next ride. I love the '00-02 Monster T the best though.
There is no greater tool than the spork. The best of both worlds.

marzocchi's fork lineup is all-encompassing now :eek: . on the demo stinky i rode two weekends (three?) ago there was a z1 dropoff triple crown up front. in other words, a double triple clamp z5. thumbs down, although i guess it's better than specing the bike with a single crown and having riders snap the stanchions...
oh, about my favorite fork, my z1 fr has served me well, in both 130mm full on and 80mm weenie guises... :D

My current squishy is a 98' Mr.T set to single-crown. It's stiffer than a dried up corpse, and isn't a fat-ass like my 03' Dj2.
