    And middle ones to.
    I knew a few people who ran them for XC, never heard anything bad, but then they never raved about them either.

    As i said, can't fault mine...do what i want from them. My local shop is a Magura dealer(Marshalls)So no probs for bits! People say their brakes are excellent, German enginerring for you! So why not their suspension...

    i've heard from various people that the wotans are amazing. i'd give them a try but i'm happy with my 66's and couldnt justify the extra money.

    Something round here tastes bad. Could be plain old bad taste.

    the dual arch design really helps no fork dive under braking

    Minimizes. Doesn't quite get rid of it however. I know from experience with Wotans that under heavy braking it does dive and you can feel it like any other fork. Not so sure myself whether the extra weight is worth it...

    On upgrades? Pay someone œ90 to take it away.

    I'd love to try a set of Wotans. They are apparently a bit hot this year.

    I'll see you at the end.

    i doubt the dual arch affects brake dive one iota.its valving or even stiction to some extent

    I have a set of Phaons n the garage, but the steerer is too short. But as its a Bolt on/off crown, I'll be getting a new one. Can't wait to try them.

    Also this years range, especially the Wotan, looks very nice. And the whole multiple paint job thing would be very appealing.

    I've a set of Menja's on my Malt 4 and I think they're great and can't fault them.
