FOX 36 Talas 160 RC2 Fit Fork
Downhill is pushing it...
c120 FOX 36 160 TALAS FIT RLC.jpg?VersionId=N
The Good
Great weight, great adjustibility, super stiff, Low speed damping great
The Bad
High speed damping can get overwhelmed(DH) when pushed...but it is an air spring. The FIT system should improve that
Overall Review
This fork has worked great for me, I've had it on a Wildcard which I used for trail, DJ and DH. I've carried it over to my Santa Cruz Blur LTCarbon. The 3 settings (100,130,160mm) make it a great investment for a carry over to your next bike. The travel setting tended to wander during the heat of battle at Blue Mountain in Ontario...not a gnarly hill.

2011 Santa Cruz Nomad Freeride Bike
2010 Nomad
c120 SantaCruzNomad.jpg?VersionId=Zft.Zd8
The Good
Proven design - really does pedal well without giving up too much small bump sensitivity.
Weight (7.5 lb frame w/Fox DHX Air, Size L). Great looking frame and easy access to the shock.
The Bad
Flex - why no 12mm rear option? Also would like a steeper seat tube. -1 star
Overall Review
Build is 32lbs with still capable parts. Fox 36 Float and DHX air rear well balanced. I can see myself riding this frame for years as a fun, capable trail bike. Build recommendations: I put a zero stack headset, a short stem, and a flat bar to bring the front end down and really like the cockpit feel. For sizing, I usually choose a meduim frame for DH steeds, but the Large Nomad fits short so was spot on for me (6' tall).

Marzocchi 888 RC3 EVO Titantium - 2010 Fork
888 RC3 EVO Ti
c120 92830710 1266894008
The Good
good price and plush
The Bad
heavy and the air volume adjuster clicks when the suspension is compressed. I truly think the air volume adjuster is just a gimmick cause you don't feel a difference if its all the way in or out. Mine has already been sent back n it still does the same thing.
Overall Review
If you want a heavy fork that makes a lot of noise it is perfect for you. Than again maybe i just got a crummy batch of forks

Wellgo MG-1 Flat Pedal
If you can get the cheap, do it.
202007140940491
The Good
Light wieght
sealed
Pins are screwed in from top, not through the body
The Bad
A little thick.
Overall Review
Although not as thin as some pedals, still one of the best deals. I love the pins. When they get damaged you can still unscrew them without damaging the body threads. You may have to use pliers but thats better than having to cut damaged pins just take them out and risk ruining the body threads. For example the trailmix pedals.

Superco Charger Hardtail Frame
The last hardtail I'll ever own
c120 98965410 1268294404
The Good
I rode one of Doc's first prototypes, and within minutes I knew this was the frame I was going to own. I tried to give him cash right that moment, but he wanted to wait until the bikes were actually done. Love the clean lines, tight geometry, and smooth ride. Just awesome.
The Bad
I originally had the regular frame, and my size 11's didn't clear the tire on barspins. Once I got the XL frame, that was fixed. If you have size 11's, and like to spin the bars, go with the XL frame.

Someone needs to give Doc a CNC machine so he can include chain tensioners with the frame. Those tight little dropouts make finding the perfect tensioner a bit tough. Doc has some good recommendations for now, but that was the hardest part of my assembly of the bike.
Overall Review
The frame is super dialed. If you get a chance to ride one of these, consider the fact, that once you have ridden it, you won't want any other frame.

FSA Orbit Xtreme Pro 1.5R Headset
1 1/8 Version
c120 100637340 1268294127
The Good
Gets the job done with minimal servicing.
Sleek
The Bad
...catastrophic failure of the bottom cup.
Super shady warranty fine-print.
They have no contact number for customer service, and they won't seem to respond to the bike shop that I am dealing with.
Overall Review
For a headset whose name includes adjectives such as "xtreme" and "pro", the thing just didn't stand up to abuse like I thought it would. It has a 10 year warranty if you never use it for aggressive riding or competition. What the hell? If they stood behind their product and simply replaced it, this would have been a completely different story.
