Suspension Fork for '97 Explosif ?

[wadsy]

What forks would be suitable? I'm thinking quite short travel, up to 80mm?

Maybe early SID's? or what about early pace, RC36?

Cheers

80mm should be just right.

I ran `98 SIDs on my Explosif but these were flexy as hell.
Marzocchi Bombers Z2 would be my choice.

My '99 came with an 80mm Maz Z2.

My '98 Kila had an 80mm Maz Z3.

I've run my '99 Explosif with a 100mm REBA Team, and I reckon it rides better than with the 80mm setup.

'97/98/99 were same geom I reckon.

So anything similar to them.

...
Once you've been here long enough anything 60mm+ will be considered Long Travel. :twisted:

Are they actually any good though? and what would be similar, top of the range stuff?
