I have a White Bros DH 2.0 and i could be any happier with it. It is by far the best fork ive ever owned, from damping, to feel, to quality it far surpasses all of my previous forks (all zokes) The fork feels great wether you are hucking or racing DH, it has rebound, compression, and progressiveness adjustments so it is very easy to perfectly dial it in for whatever you are doing. There is also a trick to tune spring rates just by using some PVC and tweaking some stuff, so you dont need to buy a new spring if your heavy, and you can change the springrate for no cost to you in about 10min to switch the fork from huge drop never bottom, to DH plushness. (dont worry this is a WB ok'd mod) Its also much stiffer than my shiver i had a year back, and its very light to 7.75lbs. Id highly recommend one
thank you, from the looks of things ill have one in the next week, thanks for the time
i know WB has 2 in stock as of yesterdayMorgan said:
Question: how would one go about changing the spring rate with some PVC?? You sure you're not just preloading the spring?ViolentVolante said:
very sure, you just gotta know the guts of the WB forksbinary visions said:

its bedtime, i gotta wake up at 5am tomorrow, ill explain laterToshi said:please explain. fork springs are linear (in theory), no?
If you can actually get one of the new v-10s within the next 4 months... do it and NEVER LOOK BACK. that bike basically took everything i could have said i had issues with on the 04 v-10 and nailed while making the whole thing 2 lbs lighter. the steepened up the HT and shortened the wheelbase and chainstay. they also lowered the weight in and on the frame with a slightly lower BB and that thing FOCKING RAILS. corner like mad and can pedal through ANYTHING...im not to partial to the WB forks but i hear the newer one could change my mind. rite now its ALL about the FOX DH forkMorgan said:

Well... You can't really be modifying the spring rate. I mean, the spring is a piece of wound steel, it's spring rate is what it is. Is it some kind of compression modification?
I'm interested! When you get a minute, please explain.

i have one shot chnce to get one and just didnt want it to be a compulsive buy, lol, thanks for all the help!
in simple terms, the 2.0 has several springs inside, not all with the same spring rate, and they can in total do more than 8" travel, so what you are doing is just controlling the engagement point of the different springs.binary visions said:

Thanks!
Funny I just rode a new V-10 with a WB fork this past weekend. Oh man... that bike was soooooooooo goooood. Just found out that the little hump at the headtube is modeled after a Ducati... I just made it that much cooler because I'm a HUGE fan of Ducati... also adds structure. I will have mine in a few weeks. :evil:

Hey dhtahoe, I have a chance to get my hands on a VP-Free or a new V-10 for when I head up to N*. Which would you suggest? Never been up there and I have little experiance with bit-hit bikes (Only my little heckler).
Either works great at N*. Rob Roskopp the owner of Santa Cruz rides a VP-Free and huals ass on it. So try one one weekend and try the other some other time.Jestere said:
I agree with Town, it's something of a wash if the Free will have an 8" fork, 'cuz that will make it slack enough for the steeps sections and rock gardens up there. If you're talking about borrowing a bike or something (as opposed to buying one) ride the new V10, you'll appreciate the slacker head angle in the steeps and rocks. If you're buying a bike, the free is more versatile for different riding situations but for lift-assisted dh the new V10 is the way to go.
PS, how are you lucky enough to have a choice?

I will not be buying one this year, I'm only gonna be able to head up to N* for one day this year (Family Vacation, can only have 2 days of riding 
) Thanks for the information, I will see whats avalible when the time of the trip gets closer. Maybe I'll get really lucky and be able to take both,It will help me choose which one to buy next year. And if you live in Santa Cruz and know the right people, these kind of things aren't to hard to come by.
