That's the whole point of the bike! The custom trail! I heard people were bitching about the fork being special and not being able to buy a frame only. Big Whoop. Keep the fox on there and pull your panties out of you crack and hit the road! Nung. Dude, don’t put another fork on a hifi. That’s the whole point of the bike! The custom trail!

I've been saying all along a 20mm axle with a cross country weight was the ticket. And that fork gives me the reason to look at a Fisher Hi-Fi for a long travel 29'er trail bike. Now if I can just convince my wife after telling her all I needed was a rigid singlespeed...... That fork is exactly what we’ve been missing.

That should be a really nice all around tread for trail riders. It will be released right after Sea Otter, according to the Hutchinson rep there at Frostbike. Dirt McGirt: The fork is reportedly also going to have a more refined Mission Control damper and amazingly is supposed to be lighter than the current Reba! j-dog: They did not have a sample there, but I’m hearing it will be a 2.35″ wide tire.

I found out this as well talking to some people further about it this afternoon. By the way, good to see all of you there! :) berrywise: Yeah, 1850 grams for the set of the higher end ones, which will have the bling-bling graphics of Fulcrums other offerings as well. Not the "plain jane" black we saw. Also, the higher end ones are the only tubeless ready set. The lower end ones, which I believe they said would be in the 2100-2200 gram range are standard drilled rims. I have the formal company images on disc, which I will post after I get back home.

No uturn, but at least the travel is there. Also not noted by any one above is the off set. We're looking at 46mm on it. Sweet! I've not personally hefted a standard RS Maxle, but this one seemed particularly light. jason from Salsa said the same about the fork. 80-100-120. No uturn, but at least the travel is there.

Some pretty cool ideas as well. Ask them about the magnet you use to change out a nipple.
