how big is your shock stroke there percy? does look a tad dodge  i like those old school kona's they used to make them in cool bold/contrasting random colours, they still look cool now too. what are those zzyzx forks like? (besides heavy)??? (cool bike)

They arent Zzyzx!!  I had some of those piece of tihse things,bent 'em,sold 'em,got some real forks instead(read the list properly)
The shock in the pic is not the one currently fitted,but they have the same stroke at 2inches.The bike has 7inches rear travel,6 front!!

oops sorry percy wasnt paying enuf attention  i just saw they look like zzyzx, after seeing a pair for the first time yesterday i decided they are sh*t with a spring in the middle, those monster thick (and bloody heavy) stanchions looked pointless for a 4 inch dual crown (well on this bike they wouldve only had 4 inch before tire hit crown (dont know what they are normally?)....sorry if i offend any proud zzyzx owners

There arent any proud Zzyzx owners,theyre mostly empty space(and a waste of it too!!  )so they arent that heavy,the big tubes are supposed to make them stiff but actually just increase the bush contact area and therefore increase the stiction and also increase the seal area meaning that more dust etc enters the fork causing more stiction/wear!!
Theyre tihs ,dont touch them,even with w 40foot barge pole!!
