    some freeride and urban riding
    but i would like to be able to do some longer distance stuff as well

    i figured this would make the argyles more of a favourite due to the adjustability

    is there much of a difference in intended use of the forks?

    are you sure it is a 07 drop off 3?

    and one fork as a 20mm axle and the other has a qr.

    so what hub do you have on the front.

    they both have 20mm axles
    i am also getting new wheels on hope proII hubs so that is all accounted for

    well the only Drop off listed by Marz in 07 is the OE Z1 drop off which had 150mm of travel.


    so you are asking which fork where one is 100mm of travel and the other is 150mm of travel.

    what is the frame?

    currently a 27seven darkangel V4
    very jump orientated i know

    im im trying to make it more useable and eventually upgrade the frame too
    hoping to do that by upgrading components from a very jump orientated custom build to allow me to do more freeride on it.

    Argyle then.

    the 150mm Marz would kill it.
