Fox stuff above Rockshox as the quality control is better
Hmm in my experience they're not, but the problems that are common in Rockshox don't really affect Fox, which are blocked transfer ports with grease. My Z1 had a fuck ton of grease in the air spring, like an inch thick on top of the piston, and no oil like it's supposed to.
I had the 150mm Pike Ultimate on Fenella’s bike serviced before it was fitted to the frame for the first time, for this reason.
Sensible. The bath oil Rockshox recommend is very viscose, and not actually fork oil. Dropping down one weight and using fork oil will drastically improve the fork.

Rockshox Pike 120mm is half the price of the Fox.
Yup, Ultimate level of Rockshox is cheaper than the bottom level of Fox. Marzocchi Z1 are exactly the same as the Fox Float albeit the shape of the lowers. Mine was £300 from the bay, the previous owner presumably had cut it too short as it had never had air in it.

Looks alright out there.
It's still mega bogs in Epping, but they're drying out.

Good so far?
-
Yeah, the only thing to complain about is that a Wolftooth lever is nearly as much the whole kit. They're also a piece of piss to service.

Have you ridden it yet?
-
Wow, never thought of that before, there are certainly a lot of parallels there.
