i have a set and i like them for retro suspension they are not half bad easy to service too.
unlike newer forks which anyone who has had to send a pair to mojo will know about sheer cost is frightning

Mine say they're 'cartridge', whatever that means :?

 

[marin man]

That means they have a damping cartridge in the right hand leg...when sitting on the bike....

Probably will need topping up now,pm me for service instructions if you like.....

my mate had some of these they were junk, when you go down hill hard or jump or any thing they twist and bend so much , that the damping rod can snap as the fork compresses, there ok for light riding though
