I had a pair of the Pace RC35 forks, the atmosphere balanced ones
about 8 years ago, back when
forks had 50mm travel and lightweight stuff ruled. They were pretty good, especially as Rockshox and
Marzocchi forks sucked. They weren't so good when the spring revolution came around and I decided to
swap some cut down speed springs for the stock elastomers. Apparently steel springs rubbing on
carbon fibre is a BAD thing..
It seems like their competitors picked the game up though (ok, so not rockshox..) whereas they
didn't really progress, they were a bit pricey for the performance they offered IMHO. The new models
look like their best forks for a while though, if I wanted new suspension forks I would probably
consider them..
Oh and for some reason*, I've just bought a pair of the pimpy RC31 rigids to go on my Ti Inbred.
They do look worryingly light and carbon fibrery though...

* reason = closeout cheap and I wanted a fully rigid bike that wasn't too harsh
