I think I Saw the Perfect Trail Bike Today

[loomer]

I ran into a guy who was riding a Foes FXR with a Maverick fork. It weighed
under 30 for sure but the guy said 26. Very stiff... took 5' drops no
problem... really looked like it could handle 12" with a good tranny.

Now I am thinking about not getting a trials bike but getting the Maverick
forks for my Bullit.....

Not too many bikes can handle a *12"er* even with a tranny!

Golly gosh... you missed the joke. You wrote 12 inches (12"), not 12'.

LOL!!

Dood, if you're still missing the 12-inchers, you're really not ready for the
12-footers! ;-P

Only an idiot would consider pounding a 3.75 pomud XC DC fork with 12'
drops.

It's an XC fork, not a freeride fork.

Guys simmer down nah!

simmah
dahoown
nahh

simmah dah nahh

simmer down now.

A 12' drop with a good tranny and a skilled rider with finesse could easily
be done with the maverick.

Actually ran into the guy today again and he was up to the 8' ladder drop no
probs.

yes 4' more is exponentially greater but... I was just attesting to my
great impression of this fork especially with the Foes frame!

Now...

SIMMAH DAH NAH!
