150mm forks?
« on: October 06, 2008, 21:49:04 PM »
The frame i thought was a DMR trailstar is actually a Exalt. So will be needing 150mm forks.

What should i be looking at ? Are Marzocchi Bomber Z1'S anygood ?

Could get some older 36s, think the 06s were 150mm.

hey,
i just put some old z1s on my hardtail and they are absolutely sick, i think they have 150, or maybe 160, but im not sure, but they are absolutely incredible.
i think they might be the 2004s, with the sort of grey flame type graphic with not much of a logo. id definetely recommend them for a freeride and downhill single crown fork. immense
cheers,
harry

I've got an Exalt, had 130mm forks onit until yesterday. Rode like s**t downhill, the front end tucked under constanly and you always felt like you were about to go over the bars. Changed to 160mm Domains and it felt like a new bike, really fast and fun, I now have raging HT DH love!

don't want your shiny frame to be made worthless and unshiny by chain rub and other such evils?
bike tape is your friend!
www.biketape.co.uk - buy some now; your frame will love you for it.

‘04 Marz Z150’s were good and there’s a few floating about, ‘06/07 Z1 sport  (also 150mm) maybe, but you don’t have to have 150mmm forks on there, a 130mm fork would do the Job, depends more on what you plan to use the bike for…

yep there z150's i had a set [orderd some dj3's from evans and they sent me my dj3's AND some z150's i wasnt complaning Cheesy]
good forks, depending on your budget if you want around 150mm travel you could get
domains
marzocchi 66 07's came in 150/170mm versions. older like the rc's could be adjusted from 170
to 150 internaly.
marzocchi z1's etc
fox 36's come in 160 and the floats or talas come in 150 iirc ?
pikes 140mm ?

180mm unless you had the air ones, which were adjustable 140-180mm

The older 36s are 150, duane is right.

Gt some older 36's, they are your best bet really they are far superior to any other 150mm fork.

You can pick a pair of RC2's up for about 300 on fleabay nowdays.

domains?

bit cheaper than lyriks, and if you get the uTurn model, you have the extra adjustment depending on what your doing, downhill more travel, dj less travel Smiley Smiley
