Falcons are the best ( for normal prices ), NJB expert are good too, forget Betor, they have a lot of quality problems, leaking often....

Rockshocks are a bit more expensive, but should last for ever. If you were unlucky enough to have a leak after 3 months, I'm sure John would repair FOC.

What sort of price are rockshocks these days, they look good to me as you can service them yourself

I would back the view for Rockshocks, I've been using mine for 3 seasons now maybe longer as I bought them off Pete Edmondson and they rebuild real easy and the service from John Bull is 1st class.

I wouls love to try some magicals but at twice the cost of Rockshocks, I will be sticking with Johns product.

Regards

Any body tried YSS ? they are used a lot here in oz, expensive but are they worth the extra?

[rontheyank]

magicals are, I believe, made by Betor! Falcon alloy body are prob. the best but at £120 more its Rockshocks for me.
