New Kid in the on-line "HOUSE"
« on: October 05, 2007, 06:46:33 am »
Hey gang, I guess I the new kid on the block.
I just bought a ProFlex 956 (I'm told) and it did not come with a front suspension fork. Can anyone tell me what was the original equipment on this ride? Also I would either like to find an original fork, or buy a substitute brand fork with out loosing my cycling shorts. I can e-mail pics of my frame if it helps!

Thanks to all!
CinciRider

I have an "LE".

Those limited edition carbon forks are pretty impossible to find. Basically a Vector with carbon legs. The model eased into the 957 and became the crosslink with hydrualics.

My advise is go to the carbon crosslink. It has more travel, and is easier to find. With a well serviced NR1, you can't go wrong.
