thanks miles...saw a magura durin, manitou r7 mrd and the new rockshock sid race from a balikbayan friend..yes he is a XC addict...works in a bikeshop in TX. hoping he sells one of the fork to me at presyong kaibigan. Porblema all 3 are 100mm travel. kunin ko magura if 80mm..hehe but R7 is the lightest of the 3....sa Sid medyo nasa heavy side na...tsk..tsk..sayang.

ARB..one thing i'm not a cannondale fan coz of the big headseat...kakainis ...bagay ang sa lefty...mahal!

no prob

sid is heavy? ive always thought sid was the lightest, just barely hitting 3lbs sobrang gaan nun. i know the durin's at 3.3 lbs. dont know the weight of hte r7, but im sure it's around the same weight range

when i was choosing between the f120 and the f100, i chose the 120, parang naliitan ako sa 100mm. i see limited use of the 100 unless if you race regularly. mas enjoyable sa regular riding yung 120mm especially on descents. the 80mm? parang subsub na hehe but it'll be the best climbing fork of the bunch

the new R7 MRD is just 2.76 pounds...lightest in 100mm XC fork..to bad the new sids are the heaviest because of the new 32mm tube. also selling XT wheelset...temptations...temptations...

Get those XT wheelsets already!

They're just less than a hundred grams heavier than XTR wheelsets at half the price! And tubeless already!

changed wheelsets and tires yesterday, biked today for 42kms and was very happy with the result of my upgrade. hopefully when I change my crank in the future magiging ganoon din ako ka satisfied sa result.
