just a quick question guys . can a pair of fox f120 be used for all mountain purposes ? they have 15mm thru axles
thanks Rich
Personally, I wouldn't - they're not as burly nor can they handle the hits like a Float can.
I've swapped out Pikes for F120's on my hardtail, using 15mm like you are considering, and while the F120s suit it better, I do miss the extra capacity the Pikes gave me. They are much lighter however, and better for climbing once I've got the damping set up correctly.
That said, it's not to say some clever tinkering could F120's work better, but I'm pretty sure I'd not want to chuck them down the Alps unless it was XC work.
thats the thing im going to morzine ....I wont be doing any black runs 🙂
I was asking about F120s on here a couple or weeks ago.
'Flexy' was the consensus. I went for some 2012 150/120 TALAS in the end and will ride them at 120. 150 option is there if I swap my Soul for a Rocket.
would like some new forks but they are so expensive
Good Xc forks
+1 buzzlightyear - great XC forks, but no AM forks. Just not stiff enough to cope with the hits.
