Sid Forks

[Wander Wheels]

I'd ordered online some Sid RLT Ti forks 2012 but when they arrived they were 2011 model. There was a mistake on their website and the company are swapping them for 2012 Sids RCT3's. How do I tell when they arrive that these are the correct Sid forks?

Sorry I thought you meant Sid Perks who used to be landlord of the Bull in Ambridge.

What happened to Hissing Sid?

2011 has 'Motion Control' damping, 2012 has 'Motion Control DNA' damping - this might be mentioned on the sticker/branding on the fork itself (i dont have experience of rockshox though to know if they do this)

Given SIDs are amongst the lightest forks and weight is a prime focus for many buyers, and since the 2012's are advertised by Rockshox to be 100g lighter, it seems to me if a) the decals say it is a RCT3, and b) it is closer to 1365g rather than 1485g, then you are probably given the right forks.
