Title: LCFS958 fork/rake recommendation ....oh and wheels
Post by: dolemike on May 14, 2021, 04:00:09 PM: Howdy,
I am about to pull the trigger on an LCFS958. I am thinking about purchasing a Marzocchi Z2 130mm fork - would you all suggest 44 or 51mm offset?

I also have a question about wheels - are the lightcarbon wheels good? Looking at either a set with dt350s or dt240s. They are a decent bit cheaper than going with light bicycle or farsports. I have a set of farsports wheels on my road bike and have been very impressed. Any recommendations would be appreciated. Thanks!

Thanks a lot Dolemike, I finally got response from Wendy but I haven’t ordered yet. There is a quite a shortage of components within EU online shop so I’m holding the decision until I see good options to complete the build in a reasonable period of time.
Have you received your order yet? Please share your experience when building the bike!

I have a set of lightcarbon 350MB-AD933 wheels on my sons trail/enduro bike (LCFS713) He is light but rides hard, uses the bike at our local bike park which is super rough and he has had no issues.
