Product Information

To counter such issues, Poertner suggests that whatever you choose to buy, you should treat it as a reference. He obtained two patents on suspension forks, one of which he licensed to the major motorcycle and suspension companies. That added support helps keep the front end high so you can push and load the handlebars in turns, which helps maintain momentum in some circumstances, such as high-speed berms and pumping jump faces or rollers. Still, it gives a bit of harshness through the hands.

Precision is how repeatable your darts are. If you aren’t always hitting the 20 but you can tightly cluster your darts, you are inaccurate but precise. Similarly, if you hit left of bullseye, bullseye and right of bullseye, your average accuracy would be good, but your precision would be bad.” Each pump was assessed on its general usability, comfort and build quality. Additionally, we recruited Brady Kappius to custom-build a high-accuracy inline gauge to ensure repeatable results in our testing. With this, our benchmark digital gauge offers 1 per cent verified accuracy. DON’T MISS: The Best Mini Bike Pumps selection, including comparisons with CO2 inflators and much more. No matter what type of bike product your buying, from the simple accessories through to the full setup of your custom built road bike, there are lots of important considerations that you should take into account, especially when you’re shopping online and unable to test the product first. This is especially true when you’re buying products like Pumps. Additionally, remember that the pressure may change due to outside temperature. This phenomenon is referred to as Charles’s law. Therefore, if you plan to ride in the winter, inflate the suspension slightly as pressure decreases due to the cold temperatures, and vice versa.The new Charger RC damper no doubt plays a role here too. However, the damping feels light enough when open that it doesn’t restrict travel and the spring supports the rider’s weight. There is a very non-linear relationship between accuracy, precision and cost,” he explains. “Accuracy and precision are different. The Charger RC damper features external low-speed compression and rebound adjustment. Andy Lloyd / Our Media Riding across small bumps, the new ZEB isn’t wonderfully supple like older models. It doesn’t take the sting out of chattery trails as well as forks such as the Formula Selva R or Cane Creek Helm MkII. This will win some people over but not others.

This update to this fork suits those who are looking to push hard and ride fast everywhere. It seems more like a bike park fork than its predecessor. Support has increased, but comfort is compromised, although it’s tough to improve both at the same time. Go full-tilt and it’s a strong-performing fork for the price.

In 1987, Turner had presented a full bike with front and rear suspension at the bicycle industry trade show in Long Beach, with the help of Keith Bontrager. One common argument is whether air is released from the suspension when the pump is disconnected, or if it’s just air escaping from the pump.

Herbold became the first world champion in downhill mountain biking on one of the first suspension forks made for mountain bikes. You do have to hold the dial at the front but rubber coating makes that comfortable, though it is possible to get your fingers trapped under the handle – hold the handle to the side, and it’s fine. If you’ve ever used a low-quality pump, you know how unpleasant the experience can be. You may feel like the pump could break at any moment.

How we tested

The taller ride height and extra travel are useful on steeper trails, where the front end doesn’t dive through the mid-stoke. However, losing the ground-hugging sensitivity of the mid-stroke that made the DebonAir spring so comfortable limits confidence over small root spreads and unsupported corners where traction is necessary.

Dia Compe manufactured the next series of forks but later withdrew from manufacturing and disposed of its shares. Riders looking to upgrade to a mid-spec enduro fork will appreciate the performance the ZEB Select offers.Two years later Turner and his wife Christi were producing suspension forks in their garage using parts they bought from Simons.
