Darkhorse Gallop 08

June 15th, 2008 | By Iolo in MTB, Photos, Races, Trails | 2 Comments »

It was a day to remember our father(s), a day we realized fudge bars and Chuckie Cheese pizza might be the key to riding faster, a day to remember to add four, five, six scoops of Heed rather than three, a day I was renamed Colenn, a day I realized I’m taking pictures of guys in tights, as well as a day I was happy to be reassured I take pictures of women too, a day I realized Porsche makes a bike rack that people actually use, a day I cracked up so hard when I saw a MTBNJ blow up doll on the course, and finally a day I will live and hear over and over as the day Tony was faster than me… and, last but not least, a day I had a great time at a race that was fast and challenging, even though I sucked wind like I was a Dyson vacuum…

First batch:

F29 2009

First thing you might notice is that the new 29er fork from Fox comes in 3 travel options, 80, 100 and 120. Fox heard the cries and must of read the forums where every bike nerd was crying out for a longer travel fork for their 29 inch wheeled rigs. Besides the 3 travel options Fox also redesigned the crown making it lighter without sacrificing safety and lightened up the legs a bit to keep you weight watchers happy. I ended up getting the 100mm travel fork so the review is based on that model. The 100mm model also comes with a spacer if you want to shorten the travel to 80mm, why would you do that though? Ok lets dive right into it
