I've been rocking out a 2002 shiver since I started riding DH (2 in all, i stupidly sold the first one).
The fork was having some major issues towards the end of last year and I don't want to get rid of it, but at this point i'm thinking about getting a new fork.
The only one that has the feel I like is a 888 with the avalanche upgrades.
-or-
shipping the shiver out to marzocchi to have the internals/seals etc replaced.
I'm not opposed to spending the $ for a new fork, but i'd hate to spend the $ and not be happy with a new one.
Pretty much all the newer forks I've ridden on just don't have the feel i like, like the shiver has. something about it's simplicity and flex........
anyways, any opinions here?
has anyone recently had a shiver serviced by marzocchi, and how did it feel afterwards?
thanks!
