Re: Front Forks

#96127

I am just getting into the mtb sceen from motocross. I did all my own work on my forks, and the hydraluic fork is oil dampening. You can set it for different terrian. The local shop can rebuild and change a few things inside to make it smoother or more progressive. The other type is based on all spring and I do not believe adjustable. I have not read if you can get different springs for your weight like in a mx bike. With the hydraulic system you will need to check the seals and replace them if they start leaking. Not a big deal once you learn to do it yourself. I hope this helps with you choice. I am also going to upgrade from a mongoose. I am looking at a Trek 820 or a Rockhopper. Nothing to fancy, I am buying used I do not mind working on things, I work on the road and take my bike with me. Rainy days in the hotel give me plenty of time.
