2010 BOXXER TEAM: Long Term Test Part 1
by Roy on Jan.04, 2010, under Uncategorized
BOXXER TEAM MY10
Please Note: I am neither Pro, or National level rider material, and the below review is done on the basis of what the average rider will find “Out of the box” so to speak.
After all the nasty experiences i have read from various forum’s and websites over the last 6 month’s, i have got to admit i was a little apprehensive of what i would find, or hear as the case seems to have been with the 1st production run of forks i.e.Coils reported to be clanging around, and the wrong levels of oil, and the fact some were sent out completely dry. I opened the box with my excited little digits and was immediately struck by the aesthetic differences..They are beautiful, and light in comparison to my 05 Races(Yeh yeh i know there as old as me).
I immediately downloaded the Tuning guide from the SRAM/Rockshox Tech site and began to set all the relevant knobs to there recommended settings for my weight. I will add at this point that i weigh 165lb, and sit right in the middle of the recommended spring rate, so i decided to leave as is for now.
I mounted them to my ride and began to cycle them through their travel a few times. There was what i would describe as a high level of stiction present, but only the same amount as i found with the 2010 FOX 40 RC2 we originally installed in the 2010 EVIL Revolt.
After 10-20 mins of playing around in the street, i found the stiction had noticebly subsided and they felt much better, but still far from perfect. I will add, at this point that all the adjusters feel to be of a much higher standard than previous models, and every click i made on each selector was noticeable (Which is a good start) but it may take you some tinkering to find the response you are looking for.
Due to a fresh downfall of Snow, i have yet to ride them on track, and have read that the fork’s will require approx 10 hour’s riding to bed in. As soon as the weather give’s us a break i will report what we find over varying settings/terrain.
I’m excited, and confident that Rockshox have solved the issues so many of you found with the early releases and look forward to putting them through their paces over the coming months.
Also look out for Wayne’s report on his 2010 World cup’s which we will do in one article, as they have already been in situe on his Iron Horse Sunday for the past month or so.
Thank’s for reading,
Roy

Rather superb entry, definitely useful stuff. Never ever considered I’d find the facts I need right here. I have been looking everywhere in the internet for some time now and had been starting to get discouraged. Fortunately, I happened across your blog and received precisely what I was searching for.

Does your adjustable beds allow ready access to my bedside tables? Most adjustable beds when you are raised up at the head move you away from the wall and therefore your bedside table. The unique wall hugging BetterRest bed always keeps you next to your table.

I really like when people are expressing their opinion and thought. So I like the way you are writing

Although I would’ve preferred if you went into a little bit more detail, I still got the gist of what you meant. I agree with it. It might not be a popular idea, but it makes sense. Will definitely come back for more of this. Great work

Your blog keeps getting better and better! Your older articles are not as good as newer ones you have a lot more creativity and originality now. Keep it up!
And according to this article, I totally agree with your opinion, but only this time!

great post as usual!

I think this is a great post. One thing that I find the most helpful is number five. Sometimes when I write, I just let the flow of the words and information come out so much that I loose the purpose. It’s only after editing when I realize what I’ve done. There’s defiantly a lot of great tips here I’m going to try to be more aware of.
