So my O5 Shore came with a 888R, which is a good fork. The rebound cartridge died on me though, so until it comes back from warranty, I was fortunate enough to be lent a 06 Boxxer Team.

From one run in the Bike Park and various fiddling with settings, I'm loving the Boxxer so far!

I can feel the weight differance, and the compression adjustment (which my 888R doesn't have) sure is sweet.

If I could afford it, I sure wouldn't mind buying a Boxxer team for a permanent spot on my bike.

So, I guess this post is pretty much a Boxxer love-in. But I had to share.

I work at a shop, and there are always random parts hanging around. This one happens to be a Demo Fork, and I guess the demo program has worked on me…I'm hooked!
