QR20 vs. King Qr. and fork choice(2 posts)

QR20 vs. King Qr. and fork choiceboehm
Jan 29, 2002 12:50 PM
I ride a Bullit set up for freeride. When I got the frame I had no cash for a fork so I just slapped a 100mm Z3 on there, i have since ridden to a level that the Z3 can't handle and so I am now facing a crossroad. would i be sacrificing much stiffness if i went with a 00 Jr. T (no QR20) and kept my king in front or do i switch out the front to a 01 MCR w/qr20 for stiffness.

I regularly do 5+ foot drops and am going higher every day; I also am going to go to BC this summer.

Thanks for any help you can give me

if you live in college station TX come ride with us, just email me

the JrT will be way stiffer than the MCR QR20. The diference between a qr and 20mm axle is nothing compared to adding a DC fork.

it seems you need a DC if you consider the z3 too lame now so it looks like the JrT is in order.

Also if ever you come across some 130mm QR20 lowers from a z3, they can replace the '00 JrT lowers.
