I'm making generalizations here as I haven't ridden that year of fork but a few other years of similar models. Fox Float forks are very smooth. The seals aren't the best on older models but if you clean the seals after every ride it makes a huge difference. They are a little on the flexy side but nothing horrendous.

Perfect, thanks. Just seemed odd that the model number didn't exist anywhere apart from bike-discount.

Truedat.

If I were in the market for a new bike these days I'd struggle to look anywhere other than YT & Canyon.

Liar, you were in the market recently, and yet you still went with the Dentist's bike of choice.

I was in the market over 2 years ago when I bought the thing, 'recently' I was getting it replaced (for a 2nd time)...

Weather clears up. I think you bought the wrong bike.

Here this looks more suitable.

The weather has been pretty grim but once your out in it its just as fun as any time.

I love it but the kind of bike you can get for the price of a frame is fantastic.

What does the above sentence mean?

Reality|Bites · 4 Feb 2015 at 20:54

I think he means for the price of just a Santa Cruz frame you could buy a great spec complete bike?, Go look at the Canyon website and you'll see
