adjustable forks - Rockshox etc

The Pyslo U-Turn forks are great. Normally run the 3 inch for tight single track, 4 inch for all
round riding and 5 inch for long downhills and steep descents.

Unlike some other variable travel fork, the Pyslo spring rate changes with the different
fork height.

My 2002 fork is about 1 year and half old with weekly use and no maintenance.

Manitou will offer you a trade in discount on a new fork would suggest a Black Elite 100/120 or
wait till they release the 2004 Manitou Minute with SPV damping. The Psylo has a good travel adjust
the rest is pretty poor, the Marzocchi MX comp with ETA is a good buy also for the 105mm/80mm
travel level

The Psylo is NOT supposed to change spring rates when travel is adjusted?!?!

I also recommend the Manitou Black, i have the Super Air version 80/100. Its super smooth and plush
with nice and easy adjustment. It need some maintenance, but thats really easy. Its an air/spring
fork. It feels really stiff and pretty bombproof, and thats a nice thing on a FS bike.

The Manitou minute also looks pretty interesting if you are into the "FOX-Inertia-thingie" its a bit
of the same. I like to feel the travel, so i stick to "regular" forks....for now :-)

Per Rockshox site:

"In addition to complete travel adjustment control, U-Turn technology automatically adjusts to the
correct spring rate and changes the bike's geometry head angle up to two degrees. As the travel is
set low, the spring rate is higher and you have a sharper head angle. As the travel is set high, the
spring rate is lower and the head angle is reclined."
