WOW... impressive...

thats a pretty crazy place for the fork to break...was it impact damge from a harsh crash or what???..

i cant imagine what would cause the lowers to snap in half otherwise...:eek:

[David]

i think he crashes DJ or something.

snapped on a dj, didnt case or anything. but i guess scott doesn go pretty big :???:

you know the 2 "ridges" that come up from the 20mm axle, i think it snapped right when those stop.

ps: scott= :love:

I saw a couple of broken shermans at the bike expo in Calgary, I think Sam bent his actually. They are strong, but everything will fail eventually.

[Broken Fusion!]

All the Shermans could go to 3".
Just don't ride in that setting, or you will wreck your fork!

[DangerousDean]

6" - 5 1/4" to be exact!!!

just cuz they have lots of exposed stnaction doesnt mena the over all fork is tall..

my 6" Sherman slider is actually quite short overall... to short in fact to use on my BIGHIT... even the 7" Slider+ i found to be to short...

its a good 1.5"s shorter then a super-T...

my 6" Slider has 8"s of exposed stanction by the way...cuz my HT has a short headtube...

[psyloman]

Very nice ride looks similar to mine
