Maybe a mezzer. I like the mattocs, but aren’t after any. Cheers.

edit. Jebus, I paid $360 new 5-6 years ago.

Total bargain on Bike exchange at the moment...
Buy a Trek Domane off this guy and he'll throw in his ladies undies, by the look of this picture?
Not the best sales pic I've ever seen?

Are you asking for pics of him or her wearing the underwear as proof of use?

 

[Mr Crudley]

Hmmm, could be tempted if it included the pot plant and pendant lamp.

2023 Fox 36 due in August.....too long for me given I go thru forks at a rate of one set per month. Considering Durolux now...anyone want to talk me out of it?

Nope great fork and won't creak. I'm using the Auron EQ at the moment and it's good.

You'll have bought 4 pairs of forks by the time we try....

They aren’t ladies undies! I, er he just wears what’s comfortable.

That's my reason for wearing women's undies. I mean if I did.

Correct. We don't, but if we did, it would be to stop our chafing.

Not that there is anything wrong with that. One step away from going the free balling freedom of Commando style.

Bonus no.2!

For $800 delivered I've taken a punt. I need a back up fork for when the others creak.

The dearly departed @zaf swears by them. Rates them over pretty much everything.

Substantial A2C measurements on the Durolux...oh well, too late now!

They are about 10mm taller for the same travel as the standards.

I can't really. I find it to be a nice fork with good control and composure. You can spend more and get the same performance if you like.
Just remember the A2C is ~9mm longer than comparable Fox / Rockshox product.

You'll get asked questions by lots of curious riders wondering why not XYZ brand.
Your hands will thank you too.

What length travel did you opt for?
Changing the air shaft is super easy, you just need to buy one and get it shipped. I ordered some and other spares so the US shipping was spread across the set. I've two Durolux forks and can't say a bad word about them. And they certainly won't creak on you like some.
