I know this has been discussed, which fork which is better this or that, but not for my particular parameters. If you can provide a useful comment to a useful thread please do so, but I don't need to hear to search, I have.
Right now, I have an 888 RC3 so I can by far get the best price on the new 888 as MARZ said they will let me trade in my RC3. So the question is go that route or a Boxxer Team or a Fox 40 or anything else that falls into the price range of the Team or 888, the fox would be used.
This is what I am looking for, I am 225 lbs with gear. I am not the smoothest rider but not a complete plow rider either. I am looking for a fork that will have the ability to have a lot of LSC. I want my fork to ride high in the travel and to not dive under breaking, but when i hit a rock garden or something I want the HSC to be open to use most if not all of my travel. Past 888's I have had have been bad with brake dive and on very very steep descents the fork just compressing for basically no reason.
So from these characteristics, what would be my best bet? I am not looking to do all of the modifications you can to a Boxxer internally, if shimstacks are availbale from Marz or someone can guide me I will change that, but nothing too extreme.
As far as maintenance goes I do not care what has to be done as long as it is reasonable, and I do not have the Boxxer, but I think it should come ready to ride and should not have to be inspected first but thats another story.
