Post Forks?
My Boxxer Teams are ok but after riding some 06 and 07 888s i feel that it is time i updated them. As im going France this year i defs want. I haven't really decided on much so far, could be single crowns or tripples. But tripple wise 888s and singles wise totems. Ideally i want um to be black to go with my bike. I think its probally a choice between 888 RC2X VA or 888 SL ATA and totem coils or solo airs. What you reckon guys? Haven't really thought about how i'm gunna afford um yet though lol.

Well personally, you know my view, 888's all the way, both mine and steve's are lush on the hills, but you can get the RC2X's relatively cheap these days in comparison to the SL ATA.

Personally i prefer the feel of mine, but i guess thats different for every rider.

Colour wise, i think you may have to sacrafice the colour match for a fork upgrade, unless you found about

I know the 07 888 RC2X VAs are black as are the totems. Im tempted by those 888s over the ones you have as they are cheaper but then again they are heaveyer and if they are anything like the 06s the dials do fuk all compaired with the adjustement on your 888s. Id be tempted by some new 05 888 RCs 200mm if anyone finds some as they should be cheap nowerdays.

Totem wise i cant really decide, im guessing the airs will be better but i dunno how they will compair to 888s and im not sure if i need the xup ability even though i know id love to have it for freeride and 4x.

The argos job would be cool, id probs get both frame and forks done, how much would that cost?

Dunno how im gunna afford all this, i was save alot buying the boxcart but they have stopped selling them until they can source parts to make um. Another route would be to get my boxxers upgraded to 06 spec but that cost

im the odd one out here, but im all for single clamp freeride forks, the open up a whole new sprectrum of tricks, x ups, barspins and the like. the totems looks well nice, but no idea how the ride, also the marzocchi 66 special edition in 190 mm look well gd

i also think the magura wotans look yummy, but probs to short a travel for ur bike on 160mm
