Hey MTBR, are you gonna delete this thread too?

I saved one of the pics of the new fork on a bike from the old thread.
Anybody save the specs or the shot of the fork?

If they want us to sensor ourselves... they'll need to provide the mtbr community with guidelines. Like many here, my own standard is that it is ok to post anything that isn't illegal.

Wouldn't the thread still be in the recycle bin spot where the naughty threads go to think about what they've done?

Also, sadly I somehow ended up on Pinkbike this morning and a couple people were talking about it there too...

So ROCKSHOX... time to come out with it already... the word is out. :thumbsup:

It does have some cold weather specific parts available, like seals, but you should probably run a (much) thinner oil for winter.
I'm gonna use my Bluto on my trail/trialish setup fatbike (unstudded Snowshoe XLs on 103s etc), but the rigid fork goes back on that bike for winter, I have no need for suspension on snow, as I usually run pressures in the 1.9-3.5psi range.
The gravel/speed fatbike for this summer (target weight sub 20lbs) will stay rigid, naturally.
