I am getting 2012 just to keep up with resale value on the year of all other parts. plus I pay Cost on things so price doesnt matter for meProbably some great closeout deals on 2011 stuff to be had in the near future, especially 888 Ti's.
USD fork? Fill me inIf fox decides to go with their USD fork Id say Dorado as the 40s resale price will drop by then. Was never a fan of zoke characteristic though didnt try anything newer.
I have never ridden with a 888. Rumor Has it they will be doing Colored stancions. If thats the case I may get someThe 888's and Dorado's are both reliable as hell. Good seal systems, open bath, not much to F up.
it was at the US Open.They were testing some USD protos for quite some time. Surfaced at MSA if im not wrong and got stolen shortly after
i cant believe im saying this, but i agree with everything you said.I can't say enough good things about my 888, the 2010s and 2011s are amazing. I've ridden friends race tuned RC2Cs and WCs and can say the 888 beats them every which way except for the weight. I would say out of the box my 888 has the best small bump compliance I have ever felt in a fork. I've also yet to feel it bottom harshly, though I regularly use all the travel.
Best part of all though, is the fact that you don't need to pull it apart all the damn time to rebuild it.

I don't think that's happening if I remember my inside sources correctly. Maybe as a custom 1-off thing, but unlikely to be mass market. But you guys should keep your eyes out for 2011 888 Ti's on sale soon.I have never ridden with a 888. Rumor Has it they will be doing Colored stancions. If thats the case I may get some
Ronnie from Marz said theyll be available before the end of the year he hopesI don't think that's happening if I remember my inside sources correctly. Maybe as a custom 1-off thing, but unlikely to be mass market.
LOL 100% mateColor should definitly be the deciding factor in what bike you choose. Its better to have a matching bike than one that rides good
Look at it like I have heard great things about both my backup would be if it matches. I'd like to try the 888 but it's really ugly so Id go with a dorado. My idea is complicated but logistical in my head. Hard to explain to sum it upColor should definitly be the deciding factor in what bike you choose. Its better to have a matching bike than one that rides good
a long time ago, there was a company that was already a few steps ahead, core rat out of BCI am hoping for Red to match the Black and White frame
Stancion gaurds for non inverted forks would be a good idea
sounds, as if you described my BOS Idylle.The 888's and Dorado's are both reliable as hell. Good seal systems, open bath, not much to F up.
3,2kg are heavy now? the idylle in europe is cheaper then a 40 btw...i would go with the 40, the new inverted damper ones are reliable, the kashima skf seals thingy works and they arent stupidly expensive and heavy as a Bos
Well it is. An open bath avy carted boxxer wc is <2.7kg and the new chasis is much stronger than the old boxxer. If you want to build a light bike it is an obvious choice. I think all the companies should have no problems with going under 3kg.3,2kg are heavy now? the idylle in europe is cheaper then a 40 btw...
different kind of forks. at least try to compare similar ones. the bos forks still use coil springs, no ti like the 40. so a 40 with coil springs would be in the same range as a bos, that was the point i wanted to show...Well it is.

I am still bummed Angie shut down the shop.a long time ago, there was a company that was already a few steps ahead, core rat out of BC
What is the weight of your 888 ti without chunked? Also I compare them because both are intended for the same use. I agree the 2010 solo air is a bit bad but they are still both dh forks so they are similar for me. Of course if I had the cash for bos Id seriously think about it and maybe try to use an air spring my friend is prototyping now to get the weight down.different kind of forks. at least try to compare similar ones. the bos forks still use coil springs, no ti like the 40. so a 40 with coil springs would be in the same range as a bos, that was the point i wanted to show...
and to the boxxer wc /w avy cart, i prefer my 888 ti /w chunked crowns and avy cart over this every time, thank you very much...
(and i'm still under 3kgs with stem...)
2800$! I will never own that fork
Our local distro has the regular idylle for ~ 1600$2800$! I will never own that fork
