$650.00 | | Purchased At: | bike29.com | | Strengths: | stiff, plush, love that extra travel | | Weaknesses: | price | | Similar Products Used: | fox, rock shox | | Bike Setup: | Niner RIP | | Bottom Line: | Bought this fork to replace my Rock Shox Reba 100mm. After consulting with George at Bike29.com (because he has the same bike as me) I decided to give the White Bros. 135mm Fluid a try. I ride some pretty rough stuff and felt that I need more than 100mm of travel- especially since I'm used to a Fox 140mm on my 26er.
I was ok with the Reba but having had Fox forks before, I felt the Reba was a step down from the perfomance of a Fox. Since Fox isn't making a BIG travel 29er fork yet, my only option was the White Bros.
I was pleasantly surprised that the workmanship and performance is on par with Fox. The travel is very smooth all the way thru and the fork is stiff so that it tracks well. The action thru rock gardens was compliant enough to not hang on the small stuff but not overly soft. My only minor complaint would be that the rebound adjuster doesn't have any clicks and the top caps are plastic vs. metal.
I like how it seems to have improved the ride of my RIP: the Reba just seemed to not have enough travel to be compatible with all the rear travel of the RIP. I noticed that I felt a lot more comfortable hitting jumps and rock gardens with the extra travel of the WB just taking everything in stride whereas the Reba made me always be a little more conservative on the lines I chose.
Thanks again to bike29.com for the help in choosing this fork as well as the nice King wheel up front!

Date Reviewed: May 3, 2007 | | Favorite Trail: | the one with the rocks and the trees that's hard | | Duration Product Used: | 6 months | | Purchased At: | hammerhead | | Strengths: | stiff chassis, perfect spring rate and plush | | Weaknesses: | none | | Similar Products Used: | Reba, DUC32, SC32, fox, marzocchi, etc.. etc.. including PUSHED foxes... | | Bike Setup: | Intense Spider 29 | | Bottom Line: | mine is essentially the same thing as the late 07 Fluid 29er forks except mine predated that in that it was a custom for me.. 115mm of travel, 20MM TA, open oil bath damper and air sprung
the fork rocks
it's signifigantly stiffer and more precise steering than the Reba. the spring rate is spot on
been bombproof and I am am very happy with it
the customer service from WB is tops
