I bought a Heavy Tools Ruler when they came out back in '96. The forks bent in less than 2 months of riding. I had been using a Skyway T/A for 12 years with no problems, doing exactly the same kind of riding, so I was not very impressed by the Ruler - Or the fact that Ison Distribution refused to honour their warranty and replace the forks!

did that really happen? i know some hardcore riders that still use heavy tools & i know thomas who built them has never heard about that, maybe you had a reject batch, you should have emailed thomas instead of going through the distributors........

Not sure about the Ruler, but I had a Screamer that held up really well. Bit short, but solid.
Sold it to a friend's kid a few years back and at the time I told him there was no way he'd be able to bend or break it. It's still going strong today.
There was a shot on a Ride cover a few years back, maybe even a review. Good bikes, I thought.
