I've heard good things about those from the people that have actually tried them... Unfortunately, in their infinate wisdom, they decided to not make one in the right size for my bike... (I'm not bitter, am I?) Yes, yes... I can go up or down a size, but I don't want to have it muck w/the bikes geometry/handling. I have seen some people that have lowered their forks a bit to offset the increase in height, so I guess that's an option. I'd just like to have one in the right size.. is it too much to ask!? HUH!? IS IT!!!?!?!
