I was hoping RST would be onboard with that. Thanks for all the helpful posts aaron! Hooray on the offset! :) Good thing to have in the quiver to quicken up slightly slack handling 29″ers.

Everything should be up and operational by the end of the month.

Being on a fairly tight budget, I didn't want to have to change hubs and buy discs, all because I wanted a suspension fork. Although they maybe on the heavy side, they'll be top of the shopping list. I just hope that the quality is right and spares will be easy to source... I third the canti studs!

I gave a buddy my old RST Delta TL. A really nice 2kg xc fork that seems to offer more travel than it's actual 85mm or so. Weird noise at fast hits, but that don't matter. These should be a welcome replacement for the affordable Marzocchi's that seem to have fallen off the market since Fisher could find better OEM deals, and those disappointing carbon-heavy Winwoods.

It actually rode pretty well, in spite of its load noises and heavy weight. I bet there’s room for another b-level fork manufactuer to rise from the c-level playing field. It would be hard to break that super cheap fork maker sitgma. [...] [...] RST: I actually rode an RST for a couple winters a few years ago.

This new line of RST forks isn't going to be the typical OEM stuff that you're familiar with. The new forks in the high-end line have all been in development for a while and are definitely going to be a big step up from what you've seen in the past.
