Hi all,
I have spotted a hard trail XC bike with RockShok SID SL suspension that I am interested in. After
reading reports around the web I find that many comments are about the "Quality of product", such as
parts prone to failure.
I am not a full blown XC racer, but I do like to ride fast flat forest trails with no planned jumps.
As I do not intend to bash the hell out of my bike I was wondering if this reporting was due to the
way people ride or of a product on the limits of its design?
Once again I have read that this fork is well suited to people of under 80kg (176lbs), this is
another point I need advice on as I weigh 84kg (185lbs). Should I be looking for a stronger fork or
am I reading far to much into the downside of the reporting and not the positive aspects.
I'm new to the quality bike scene and have been riding a (no name) bike for far to long. Thanks
in advance.
