Hey man, sorry for the late reply I weight 230lbs. therefore the fork needs to be able to take a beating. The WB fluid range is a little restrictive which is I can't tune the highspeed or low speed. So because I can't control the bottom out threshhold with out pumpin too much air, I changed to 15wt fork oil and up the volume by 30ml. well, it has work beautifully since then. The internals showed very little signs of wear which means I have not properly broken in the fork yet after 30odd weekends of riding. done about 500km on it. But that again I use the fork for everything. Stairs, FR, light DH, XC all on my one bike. its light enough to fling around. And strong enough with I would not say no flex, but i never felt it yet to be fair. I love the fork, its not the plushes, but it works beautifully. consistent strokes, does not blow thru the midstroke. the legs are a little soft metal but heck for the look, i would live with it.
