Hardtail = Front suss. Not too many about

Rigid = Rigid. Plenty out there

So are Rigid's allowed?

Never seen a bluto in the flesh, seen loads of rigids though, HT is a niche within a niche

smart. jel!
JohnClimber: course rigids aren't allowed! or i wouldn't've said hartails!

likes of trek and spesh come with blutos so are presumably suspension corrected geo.s tho not [i]that[/i]consequential for 100mm forks.

how about the OO fatties and the puffin. are they 'a bit sus corrected', so to speak? or do they jsut not really mind?

Spesh's come with 80mm travel, rest of the range is rigid.

Front suspension = front tyre. That said, I've got a Rocky Mountain Blizzard (the rigid one) but have rarely found myself wanting for a Bluto up front. Stock spec and I've got no pics online of it, I think.

AlistairMc, was waitin gfor someone to say that! but anyway, i'd want blutos, so that's the point of the thread. it's all about me obviously.

so what other fat sus fork options are there at the mo? saw somewhere talk of RST bringing one out with a straight steerer for eg. i'm fairly sure i'd go with a rockshox anyways but good to know

These are made by SASO and are branded under Carver amongst others... Now working well since I rebuilt them and basically tightened all the internals up properly. 15mm axle helps.

Front suss for summer roots and rocks, rigid fork for snow
