Leech's Fork

[SpecHR55]

Very random question but does any one know what fork Ryan Leach uses? It looks like it has about 2inches of travel with alot of rebound.

Just curious.

Ryan rides on pure skill. The fork won't help....:p

It is a Marz fork oil/spring from how it sounds. I would imagine it is super stiff so he can still feel where the front wheel is at. I'd say go rigid cause its cheaper and you get great feedback off it.

Yup. The few riders that still have a suspension fork on their bikes have them set up super stiff and modified to have shorter travel. Its more because they either - a: Can't stand a full rigid, or b: Are forced to use it from sponsorship deals. If you can go with out, do it. The weight and money savings are worth it.

Oh i wasnt asking about it to think about getting one like his. Just wondering if he has marzocchi or fox make a custom one for him.

I'm pretty sure it is just a 'off the shelf' type fork. Just reworked to suit his needs. Nothing really too special.
