guys what do you suggest the best value for money lighweight air fork na sa 100mm with lockout and probably rebound adjustment.

XC fork....Rockshox Sid Race or Manitou R7 MRD both are lightweight under 25k....XC / Trail....Rockshox Revelation 426 under 25k

Rockshox Sid Team 2009 100mm under 30k...very nice simple design.

got an XT FD, XTR RD, XT cogs and the SLX crank, total cost was 10.7k. Already have a XTR rapid shifter na so I opted to get this to sort of complete my drivetrain set-up. As mentioned here and in other forums I should first upgrade the rotating mass of my bike to get the best way to make my bike lighter to pedal. First upgrade I did was to change my wheelset to DT Swiss 340 hubs, X455 Rims and the spokes i dont know basta flat ang middle, togehter with the tires. Then the drivetrain. next would be the fork. I dont want to spend much more so maybe the fork na lang muna. sana mga 15k below lang. Ang suntour axion ba yan or R7 elite na lang siguro so that its a wee bit cheaper. But am afraid that I might not be satisfied.

BTW heard that there will be a race here in Bacolod in November. Anyone coming to participate? Let me know kung may mga tsikoteers so that we can meet.

free ba foods

suntour axiom is not good also not bad...oem forks. go for the sid race or R7 mrd para isang bili na lang.

he he,hirap kae makisabay sa mga bike buddies ko na light weight ang mga bikes. nasa 20 to 22lbs ang bike nila full sus pa, while mine is around 29 HT pa. having second thought of the XTC since its size 19, might be too big for me.
