  1. I just came into some money and I have a little over a grand to spend on a
    DC fork to replace my 02 Jr T on my Bullit.

    I will need at least a new hub because the Jr T has standard dropouts.

    What do you guys recommend for a new front hub? I already have Tioga DH
    rims. Should I also replace my rear hub? If I do replace the rear hub what
    is the biggest axel I can go with on a 03 Bullit rear triangle?

    I can't decide on a Super T or the Slider Plus. Has anyone had experience
    with either? I think SPV will be important because I am selling my other
    MTBikes because the Bullit is so great at being an all around trail bike.

    Ideas, opinions?

    TIA

    Hah! You're outta my league if you're about to spend more than 3 times what my
    entire bike cost, just on a fork.

    Enjoy.

    What's wrong with the Jr T?

    Spiking on the compression stroke... I also bought them for almost nothing
    used. I will resell them. I got them to get me past not having enough
    money to get me what I want and mainly to learn first hand how to install
    and setup DC forks.

    I sold another vintage guitar and I always take a small part of the profit
    to put into whatever my current hobby is.

    Any ideas on my original questions?

    What guitar did you sell?

    You're going to regret doing that...

    Jim still talks about his vintage guitars and basses that he was forced to
    sell.

    Well It was a 68 Fender Strat and it actually did go to eleven because the
    volume started at zero and went to ten!

    It had the best neck pickup sound of any strat (and I mean any... from real
    1954 on up) I have ever played and I have ever heard, in real life (non
    recording).

    I miss it but I also had that guitar for 15 years... I can't believe how
    much that thing went up in value... so it was a good time to sell, and I
    have more old strats anyway.

    Nah I don't think so... I have a couple others. Now I did sell a 1968
    Martin D-18 that I regret selling for sure... and a 64 P-Base... and a first
    year Jackson "Randy Rhodes" flying V....

    Also I was not forced to sell, a great deal came along and I got back over
    11 times what I paid for it.
