: A SID's requires lots of maintenance. I bought a Marzocchi Atom Bomb because of it's light maintenance schedule, plus it's good for us 200 lb. guys.
: : I am currently running a Manitou on my 17.5 XLM. While I think it is a great fork...I am tempted to try a SID...I have heard a lot of bad things....any thoughts?
The SID is the best suspension fork for cross-country rides.If it is adjusted correctly, it performs very well. If you put on shock boots it is nearly maintainence-free. I own a SID since half an year and it needs absolutly no maintainence, although I ride often and only on the trails and not on the road.
Happy trails,
Herman
