    get them fixed as they will still be better that the Drop offs as they are crap.

    when you say Monster T's you mean the old red stickered one from 2000?

    so they are the 175mm!

    yes they are heavy but they do have damping in them which the drop off 3's seem to be lacking..

    if i was going to replace them with anything it would be a 2005 year 170mm 888rc.
