This won't help your problem though. It will worsen it. I suggest that you might want to go to a longer travel fork in the Rock Shox which would slacken your head angle a bit, or dial in more Floodgate/ compression damping. That feeling is frightening, but you should be able to tune that out with some tweaks. mcgovski: Yes, the offset has increased from 38mm to 46mm. This won’t help your problem though.

I have an '08 on a Kona Kula 29 and it is freaky when the fork is loaded into a turn...real twitchy. I thought more rake (increased trail) would solve that fealing...??? Besides that, I am loving the bike and the fork Is the fork offset, or rake any different from ’08 to ’09?

Note that your good review of the Gordo's is the main reason why I'm looking at them. Keep up the great work! Thanks, I’m looking forward to reading the update!

I believe it is definitely stiffer than the old Reba was, and is at least on par with the Manitou/Fox forks. Is it better than those? Maybe. I have not had enough riding time to ferret that out as of yet. For what it is worth, I am riding the same combo you are looking at: Hope Pro II's (20mm thru axle) Gordo rims and this Team fork. rl: My initial feeling on this is yes.

I'm planning on using Gordo rims and Hope Pro II hubs as I want as little flex as possible - are the Rebas up to the task?
