Oh, and this was a complete bike, I didn't buy any of the parts separately so I have to go thru salsa and their distributor to get the problems solved.<br /><br />I don't want to keep moaning, but I don't want people to think I am silly enough to blame a dodgy fork on salsa!Matthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14546909926860347320noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-12831567.post-89148889782446131922011-11-02T21:19:15.468-05:002011-11-02T21:19:15.468-05:00I too had problems with my fork but it was MADE by...I too had problems with my fork but it was MADE by Rock Shox not Salsa.I now have the Manitou Tower on the Big Mama and have been throwing some pretty big stuff at it since I'm on flats again. No problems in that area.The only issue now is I think the Fulcrum wheels will need replaced with something a tad bit burlier.They flex enough on high speed downhill's at Potter's to snap spokes on the rear !!! <br /> CQChad Qhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07791111347359720422noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-12831567.post-19971153832783969272011-11-02T21:14:19.484-05:002011-11-02T21:14:19.484-05:00MMMMM Salsa ;)MMMMM Salsa ;)Chad Qhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07791111347359720422noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-12831567.post-47634844510220690832011-11-02T06:28:08.108-05:002011-11-02T06:28:08.108-05:00@Matt: Salsa doesn't make suspension forks. ;&...@Matt: Salsa doesn't make suspension forks. ;>) Your issue there, (at least this one you are letting on to here- fork lock out, missing part on that fork), has nothing to do with Salsa Cycles. It has everything to do with the suspension fork maker. <br /><br />Big difference. <br /><br />That said, I hope your issues get resolved and that you can start enjoying the ride.Guitar Tedhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10960580677548417562noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-12831567.post-62478307070582577162011-11-02T04:07:16.777-05:002011-11-02T04:07:16.777-05:00I really like this blog, but I get a twinge of sad...I really like this blog, but I get a twinge of sadness every time there is a salsa post. I spent all of my spare cash on a salsa and it has been nothing but trouble. Right now it is in the shop because a) there was a part missing from the fork and b) the fork lockout dial has reversed itself!<br /><br />Salsa _should_ be a company I feel good about too. They make the bikes I want, I share their point of view, but this experience has left a sour taste. Perhaps it will dissipate over time.<br /><br />Lucky for me the bike it was replacing just keeps on keeping on because more than two months after putting down my hard earned for the salsa, it is still my primary ride.Matthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14546909926860347320noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-12831567.post-27151777896274906652011-11-01T22:20:46.559-05:002011-11-01T22:20:46.559-05:00I've been happy with all of my Salsa Cycles pu...I've been happy with all of my Salsa Cycles purchases so far and having met the guys that design and test these rigs, I'm more than happy to support a company and people that "get it".S.Fullerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04308484314231606505noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-12831567.post-44850492907716998142011-11-01T08:41:27.967-05:002011-11-01T08:41:27.967-05:00I like the way you think.I like the way you think.Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09654560162691803119noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-12831567.post-9793087687234316762011-11-01T08:05:16.828-05:002011-11-01T08:05:16.828-05:00Inspiring read,and didn't come across as a &qu...Inspiring read,and didn't come across as a "fanboy" post to me at all.
