Fork on a locomotobod
Oct 18, 2001 9:10 PM
Was thinking about putting a Duke SL 100 onto a Loco. Would anyone suggest any alternatives?
Thanks...

Sorry - above post was a bit brief. I am looking for 100mm travel, reasonably light and an air fork. I am sub-150lbs and am just an average all-round trail rider - so i want something thats durable - but i do not need something designed for drops, jumps, etc. Would also like something low maintenance as I'm mechanically inept...
Thanks again...

The Duke is a good fork for the price. A couple more to seriously consider are the Fox Float R, and the closeout deals on 01' X-Fly 100's. Both are 3.7lbs uncut. The Fox is the stiffest of the 3, has great rebound damping, and is very plush, but a tad more expensive than the other two but still very reasonable. The 00' X-Fly's were mediocre but the 01' has proven itself to be a very good fork and they are running about half price right now.

My girlfriend is thinking about getting one. Great deal on a relatively stiff 100mm travel air fork!

That way you could adjust the travel of the rear suspension and the fork depending on the terrain. Thus adding some serious versatility to the ride.
