i would because the fork with 40mm stanchions keeps breaking at the arches, and the legs tend to disentigrate after hard hits. ive seen numerous pictures of trashed 40's, and acctually had an 07 come back to the shop after a week of ridding because his brake arch had snapped. thats why i dont ride a 40 and you cant beat marzocchi's cs.originally posted by dan the man
who in the world would want to give up 40mm legs to 32mm?
thanks for stating the obvious for me, but for the sake of this forum they didnt hit trees.originally posted by Rigger
any brake arch will break when you hit a tree. The 40 owns all when it comes to the ride.
everything is user-accessible and serviceable from removing/customizing the blackbox speedstack, to changing all damper piston glide-rings and o-rings, and even to the point of having the motion-control damper head removable (endless modding possibilities). On a simpler note, it's also nice that the end user can change the damper oil.
what technology are you thinking of?Technology is going to lighter air forks. In a few years they will be going to nitrogen.
Amen.any brake arch will break when you hit a tree. The 40 owns all when it comes to the ride.
And the new Boxxers smoke the old ones. By a lot. In 05, 40s were the ****e for racing. Now Boxxers feel good too and are lighter.Amen.
I would really like to try a boxxer world cup, but based on every other boxer I've had - the 40 smokes it.
Well that's enough for me. I'm going to throw away my boxxer.I dunno, I just wouldn't feel safe running 32mm legs on such harsh conditions. Just looking at the legs on Boxxers sends a chill down my spine..... all skinny and weak looking
aaaaahahahahahah! priceless!Well that's enough for me. I'm going to throw away my boxxer.
smart move to make! throw it away and pick up a real fork like an RSTWell that's enough for me. I'm going to throw away my boxxer.
And all along you guys thought I was just being mean to the older boxxers. :biggrin:And the new Boxxers smoke the old ones. By a lot. In 05, 40s were the ****e for racing. Now Boxxers feel good too and are lighter.
Most downhillers are male and too insecure to own a fork with a penis.
The irony is that is my '04 Boxxer rode way better than my '06 Boxxer.And all along you guys thought I was just being mean to the older boxxers. :biggrin:
¡Explicame por favor!The irony is that is my '04 Boxxer rode way better than my '06 Boxxer.
Their new damping is good though. The adjustibility of my Pike Air is really nice.
I don't know about the 07 but there has been reliability problems with the 40 we have seen at the shop with a lot of wear on the damper rod that compresses into the rest of the damper unit. The cause is the natural movement in the bushings that then translate into slight bending of the damper so the inner rod rubs when compressing. Its not even people who ride a lot or go big. I don't know if there are other people with the same problmes.Someone lists the cons of the 07 40 beside the price.
The damn thing rides perfect.
I'm sure this crosses the minds of Peat, Rennie andHill quite often. I hated Boxxers until I spent last season on a WC. It is simply the best fork for racing. I have seen broken 40 lowers and broken Boxxer lowers. Nothing is indestructable. If you race hard and crash you are going to break S^&T.I dunno, I just wouldn't feel safe running 32mm legs on such harsh conditions.

Isn't it early for you to be drinking?The irony is that is my '04 Boxxer rode way better than my '06 Boxxer.

I get to drink early because I don't have to rebuild my fork every week.:biggrin:Isn't it early for you to be drinking?
Ha, he does not work on his own bike, much less mine.ok having butch work on your stuff does not count
