What will zocchi make next?
I was thinking, the two weeknesses of the z150 are flex and weight. If one stanchon was to be replaced with alluminum and one spring replaced with an air spring how much stiffer and lighter would the fork become. Would doing this cause problems and would the one steel stanchon mantain impact stangth. I was just thinking, wonderd what you're oppions were.

That's just my idea of a dream sc fork. I'd also like to be able to ajust the travle like a manatu or a rockshok. If they have thought of it I wish they would put it in production.

Get the Z150SL. It's light, air, aluminum, and has ECC.

I got burned with the removable brake mount... bolts just a millimeter or two too long, I wasnt even riding with them in, still I have a 'parts fork'...

The Z150 SL doesnt seem like too bad of a fork. I'd like one, just to satisfy curiosity. Whether I'd take one over a slider plus is a different issue.
