Weight is a concern, but performance is even more of a concern. I have to be able to ride the fork a lot, as I only have one bike. Any concern with reliability issues of the Sid? Thanks guys (and girls)

I don't know if I trust the smaller companies quite as much. Hope ya understand, but I'm not just bashing the company or you. _________________ Riding bikes is fun.

My next fork for my Nicolai will probably be the new Pace RC40. _________________ *** www.daedalous.de ***
