As it says in the blog, they're still trying to figure out the cause. In the meantime, it seems they're just treating the symptoms. But, there hasn't been an blog update in a week though, so I'm not sure what to make of that.

Rode Skeggs last Sunday morning.. .. great weather!
 
Is this a crazy upgrade?

I just had yet another birthday :bday

... and I got quite a bit of $ from family, and now I'm thinking about upgrading the front end of my Hardtail Jamis.

The frame was warranty replaced in 08 because of a headtube frame crack, and I had to buy a new disc wheel for the back - originally the late 2003 model bike had V Brakes ( still has a V brake front :|)

The 2010 Fox F series RLC FIT fork 15 QR just came out recently :drool and I have some connections to get a good deal (but they're still not that cheap!) on it.

That means a new fork, front brake set, new front wheel !!! Whoa $$$$$

I have ridden this bike with it's Marzocchi spring / oil fork since Jan 2004 putting on a little over 1000 miles / yr.

Is the ride quality change dramatic enough to justify the $ ? or are there some other possibilities?

V V V here's the current frame

For what that fork costs you could probably just buy another bike and be happier overall.
 
Fox makes nice shit , it will definitely ride better. I haven't had a fork yet that is as smooth and plush as my Talas.
