    I am in need for a better forks, I have been ridding lousy forks but kind of does work for now. I am running an Manitou Stance 170mm.. always has problems, im afraid that its going to be a death trap for me! (i already have sent back to the factory 4 times for some repairs, replaces, and etc, only owned it since early JAN. cant u believe that?!?)

    So what im looking for is Domain 318 180mm with 1.5 steer tube must be at least 8 1/4 inches length, I would accept the Marcozzi 66, but theyre not strong from what i have seen and told by many guys.. or a FOX with 180mm travel max.. I wish i could buy new one but im unemployeed right now, still looking for job. Anyone wanna hook me up?!? :wave: I would hook up with something else later when im budget stable..

    oh yeah im adding this.. i blown the oil out of the top right side fork on OAKS ride on sunday.. Ricky, Gray saw that oil mess as well..

    Manitou does have their share of problems but the Stance is not a fair comparison point as it is their budget long travel fork. No one liked them to begin with. Damping and construction is horrible!

    Sherman on the other hand is a different story. Don't miss out on that fork as everything else would run you 500+ even used.

    Oh i read your post for a CHEAP fork with 180 travel, and you are unemployed....

    Good luck finding a totem 1.5 for cheap....

    Stance is a shit fork.
    Sherman isnt....

    Its a killer fork... for a cheap price.

    Excuse me.. it didnt say totem.. lol.. domain which is just sighly cheaper than totem. cheapest i found on pinkbike is 250. but the problem is they cut the steer tube short.. 7 1/2 inches.

    I just am willing buy one with my tax refund.. thanks for the good luck..

    Is that true about Sherman?

    I think maybe it would be worth it, since obviously it does have compression adjusting... and probably is better than what i have, for 125 wont kill me until i have job again for better forks.. uhmm.. thinking twice! :-k

    Wow. For $125 the thing is almost disposable. Couldn't hurt. :?: I'll still keep an eye out for you...
