Hi All

Gazlar yep you are correct

Mark Done some of those bits before sill not convinced :?

Lawman the 34 are a canny old fork they seem to be smaller than the 36 160 float when stood side by side but they've come through all I've chucked them at including DH at wharncliffe a couple of weekends ago and highspeed jumps etc at that new place in Sheffield Parkwood springs . There is still a fair bit of tweaking i can do still as still playing around to see what settings to use for different conditions but as a lightish 160mm fork no faults yet

Now with added LEV

Hi Richie
Could you do me a favour and measure from the top of your seat clamp to the centre of the seat rail please. Also is it the 125mm model or the 150mm ?
Cheers

125mm model from Bikediscount De for £226

187mm from the join between silver collar and lev to center of seat rail

Do you find the forks dive around alot like most reviews say? I love how my 32's with the older RLC damper have great mid-stroke support and abit concerned that the 34's are just too linear.

Oh bugger, one bike is 185mm and the other 155mm . Probably get away with it on the Sabbath but would need them to release a 100mm version for the Prophet.
cheers
(Just checked the KS website and there seems to be a 100mm version and also a 27.2mm/100m version too)

Well to be perfectly honest you loose me when talking like that . I know that they work fine for me what ever I've thrown them at and behaved as forks should. Can not say I've noticed them compressing unduly at anything yet for jumping to high speed rocky ( 4"- 6" rocky strewn paths) So i'd recommend them.

Started to change bolts from steel to Ti.

First have been the point One stem bolts as CRC had an offer on them.
