Fox Racing Shox F100X 
Posted: 08/12/04

'SH!T HOT!'
Strengths:
The intertia valve locks the forks out when it doesnt sense any bumps- acts like a rigid for on flat sections!
Very good stiffness to weight ratio (why I would never buy a SID!)
Smooth as you like.
Weaknesses:
Price? I got it with the bike so I couldnt say how much it pains to fork out the full price!
Overall:
An amazing fork, as smooth as my old Vanilla, but lighter and more adjustable. Just as stiff (maybe stiffer) than a Vanilla.
Terra-Logic does what it's supposed to- a racer's fork!

Cateye HL-EL400 Compact Opticube Light 
Posted: 26/11/03
'GOOD'
Strengths:
The switch is nice to use, you can mount the light securely on a helmet and with a flick the light can be on or off (or flashing!) Its nice and bright and the ring of light on the side is good in traffic. The strap is nice and secure, and quick to put on/take off.
Weaknesses:
Price? Ive already been hit by a car with it on? well they did cut me up!
Overall:
A nice light for commuting and general use, I'd buy another if i werent a 'povvy student!'

Fox Racing Shox Vanilla 125R 
Posted: 09/09/03
'Ridiculous'
Strengths:
Sooooooo plush straight out the box, stiff as you like. Not too heavy. Look so nice! External Preload and Rebound
Weaknesses:
A small knocking noise, but they all do that for the 1st 100miles or so! At least I know they are working!
Overall:
Well lets just say they were laughing at my 2002 Bomber Z1s when I took them out. Stiffer and plusher out the box than Bombers (and thats after my bombers had a year to bed in!)You know you want some.

'How does such a good bike cost so little?'

Perfect as a ''shed'' or uni bike. Works too well for the money.
Weaknesses:
Some cheap componentry, doubt if it''ll last, but i didnt pay much in the 1st place.
Overall:
Brilliant bike for the money.

Hope Closed 2 Piston Disc - Pro 
Posted: 23/01/02
'SOOOO SWEET'
Strengths:
Look good, stop me dead, and theyve only had 5mins bedding in time. Made in Britain. Good modulation and adjustability. Really easy to setup.
Weaknesses:
Make my XT shifters look shabby! Slightly expensive, but you get what you pay for. A bit heavy, but the performance makes up for this.
Overall:
You get what you pay for and that is a top-notch set of brakes which look the sweet as and will stop u when u want.

'lifetime gurantee- says it all dont it'
Strengths:
Light weight, lifetime gurantee, stiff as you like. Look good, no, make that look brilliant. Cheaper than RaceFace. Made in Britain.
Weaknesses:
Price, errr.
Overall:
If only they were a bit cheaper, they would be brilliant, but you get what you pay for. Oh, and they are way cheaper than RaceFace.
