[QUOTE="marcusgunby, post: 671572, member: 17066"] well they have been busy-it looks externally like last years but thats about it. It uses a 2 stage mid like last year, but this year they have gone to a 2 stage base valve.The base valve itself is like last years.No passive bleed shims like a CR.It no longer uses a CV and it doesnt use bumpers.It has a bottoming cone very like a CR125 fork.It does have a bladder like a CR fork but it has no removable restrictive barrier(ie large washer thats sits under the fork spring) the bottoming cone recess has cut outs, to soften the action as the cone meets it.It has a nice plastic spacer that sits ontop of the spring to stop it eating into the soft alloy cap. it uses low lifts (0.3mm i measured)however when i built the other fork to the same new stack i measured a 0.3mm difference(larger).So maybe it was meant to be nearer 0.6mm like last years???? Overall its a nice fork to work on with the cr type removable bottoming cone.No more heating the cartridge to undoe it.The fork seals were super dry however.One exeption is the cartridge holding tools wont fit this fork-i have 3 different ones and none fitted.It has hardly any cutouts to get the tool into.I ended up using 2 long thinblade screwdrivers-next time i will use the impact gun.
