I know alot of guys like the gibson and walsh, how do you like the gibsons (if youve owned them or ridden on them more than once) compared to walsh. im thinking about switching it up for next season.

They are both really really great front ends if you have 05 spindles. i would stick with the walsh stuff though.

Love my Gibson's. But either way, you can't go wrong.

Both good arms but walsh is overpriced IMO. there are plenty of other really good aftermarket front ends out there that arent $1500.

Id say its all in the shocks if you have a good set of shocks dialed in right for you it. I would say 99% shocks and 1% a arms wont matter if you have walsh or gibson. the only advantaged with these to brands compaired to others are both caster and camber adjustment. but there are other a arms out there with both caster and camber adjustment for less money.


Me and andy M A U L made this set I dont rember what leverage ratio we used but we built the shock's accordingly and they works just was well as any other brands ive rode on.
