may be lower if .....

I was pricing these ... got all the way to check out. I think I had gotten a discount code from somewhere which was like 10% off. No shipping if I recall. I didn't pull the trigger ... wasn't going to from the get go.
Then a day or so later I get an email from them sayin to the effect, " hey we noticed you were gonna buy these and didn't how about another 12% off the top on orders of $300 or more"
here's the email:

I wish I could remember the first code. Anybody? At least it looks like you might get the 12% if you are patient.

Yeah and my 014 forks are a little hard too. Our roads are pretty good for the most part - thankfully.

THIS IS HOW I DID ORDER , TRIED A SMALL PART ( METER COVER) BUT DID NOT FINISH THE ORDER ,NEXT DAY AN EMAIL WITH THE DISCOUNT WHICH I USED FOR THE FORKS. THE METERCOVER I THAN ORDERED FROM PARTFISH BECAUSE OF CHEAPER SHIPPING.

That's a great tactic. Why don't they just offer the discounted price in the first place? Is there a real price? I have the same rant with Sirius. I call to cancel and just like magic, they reduce my subscription rate by 50%. Oooh, I'm so special.

I looked at the Traxxion kit but was told it's more of a stiff, performance upgrade as opposed to compliant and smooth.


Who said anything about add oil?

I just bolted mine on and rode....

Do they have to be filled with oil ? You would think that they are filled at the factory. I will find out when they arrive !

I never looked at them, just sent them back.

I just assumed they wouldn't come with oil in them.
