888r vs 888rt
I am going to buy an a-line soon and was wondering how much more the r would be over the rt that comes stock on the bike. I know the internals and no adjustments on the rt make it not such a great fork so I want to get the r.
Anyone know?

the 888r has dual hscv carts... and the 888rt only has one, I believe that for about 100 dollars, you can but the hscv cartridge and put it in your 888rt and turn it into an r...

I think 888RT's around the 1000-1200 mark, your shop would probably swap for 250-300

They feel pretty much the same.
The RT has no external adjustment, the R has comp and rebound. |

Dont bother, the RT feels great. Spend the $200 on something else...

So your saying the difference is small?
Thats good news, now I don't need to worry about that.

The rt is fine actually I really like it but I haven't ever really been one to play around with adjustments anyway
