|  Nick Peterson and Kyle ring a bell anyone? Haha | K2theG Jan 9, 2004 7:00 PM | | Hi. It's been a while since I've been on. You might remember me and my friend from march and april last year. Anyway, I'm looking for a new fork for my giant warp ds3. I enjoy freeriding, and the occational XC or dirt jumping. I weigh about 120 and am still growing. I want a fork with about 5" of travel. My best choice so far is the Rock Shox Pyslo. But am also looking at the dirt jumper series, bomber, and Z1. My price range goes up to 300, and am looking at getting it used from 03. Thanks a lot

|  Man, you think you bike handles slowly now.... | pimpbot Jan 9, 2004 7:57 PM | | ... just wait until you put a 5" fork on it. Your head anglle will prolly be in the 67 degree range. You'll be riding a frickin chopper.
What the heck does a 120 pound tyke like you need with 5" of travel?
The Psylo is prolly a good choice with U-Turn, cause you can dial it down to less travel if you like. |

Honestly, if you want to be taken seriously here, I would mention them again. You really don't want to be lump in with those two trolls.
Pimpbot is right a fork with 5" of travel is way too big for your bike. A fork that large is really going to change the geometry of your bike and not in a good way. |
