The product works well for a race only fork. It's very stiff and has stiction issues, or is it bushing play? When I hit a bump (with rebound damping high) at slow speed, I feel a sticky delay.
It reminds that I hit a bump instead of erasing it. The only remedy to this is to decrease rebound damping higher than I'd like, and then I feel a slight top out. Not a good trade off.
The worst part of this fork is that the travel is off. It's only a 73mm fork. The bumper stop mechanically limits the fork to 73mm instead of the claimed 80mm. I emailed rockshox and the rep said he only got 74mm travel. He also said that their catalogue shows a +/- 3mm tolerance, but I've yet to see that catalogue. The website doesn't show it and neither is it advertised as '80+/-3mm'.
Don't know about the legality, but I think that's a bit shady. The forks price has dropped considerably and so if one is looking for a light weight.limited. travel race fork, this is it. For general XC, it's not worth the claimed weight advantage. Only die hard weight weenies who really don't care about suspension should get this fork. The product works well for a race only fork.

Rock Shox Sid Race Maintenance
If we talk about pure cross country, which is exactly what it is designed for, it would be an excellent fork. It absorbs the small stuff better, in other words, an excellent trail fork. The weight is also excellent. Then, when it comes to running V-brakes on it, you'll notice that theres actually flex. Some people don't know what flex is and start using the word flexy but if I hadn't ran V-brakes on it I wouldn't of been able to tell. When the V-brakes are installed, WHILE RIDING WHEN PUSHING ON THE FORK, you will notice that the pads start rubbing the rims.
Then when you don't push on it, theres no rub, when you roll the wheel. I think that only discs will solve but maybe not. This fork is not meant for dirt jump and tiny drops.
The kind of 'smooth' you get on it is air smooth, and on Marzocchi you get oil smooth. You wouldn't want air maybe Zocchi's system for drops. So I guess this would be the fork if you do pure Cross Country racing but not for anyone that does cross country, dirt jumping, and little drops. I heard that this fork has bad internat parts.has anyone heard any?email me if you know any internal problem.
