Trivia! Most popular fork...

First correct, complete answer (as judged by us) wins a coupon good for one $150 fork overhaul from Shockspital. This is a two-parter. First, answer the multiple-choice question, then provide a guess for the fill-in-the-blank section (you should answer both parts in one comment).

Part one: Over the past two years, which fork has Shockspital worked on the most units of?

A) RockShox Reba
B) Fox F-Series
C) Cannondale Lefty
D) Manitou R7
E) Fox TALAS
F) RockShox 28 SID (the older model with smaller stanchions)

And part two: Of that most common fork, what amount of travel (in millimeters) have we seen the most?

Submit your two-part answer in a comment to this blog post. Good luck!

  1. I'd say the Fox F-series in the 100mm travel version.

  2. Lots of close guesses so far (I'll wait to publish them until I see the correct answer), but no one has nailed it yet...

  3. Those of you chasing a red woodland quadruped are on the right track, but a little too leggy in the travel. Feel free to post a second guess.

  4. And the winner is..... John Reinan!! Congratulations! You can stop by any of the Freewheel/Shockspital locations to claim your prize. Send me an email (info@shockspital.com) to let me know where I should have it waiting for you. The correct answer to the multiple-choice is (B) Fox F-series. We see pretty even numbers of 80 and 100mm forks in the 26" category, but the 29ers that come in are mostly 80mm, tipping the scales pretty firmly to that side. So the full correct answer is (B) Fox F-series, 80mm travel. Thanks for playing!
