yeah it tracks great & I can grab onto the top of the wheel & force it left & right & I only feel the wheel flex it stays strait
it steers slower then the solid fork I had on there but I really like it
I can adjust the hinges to take play out as the fork wears in & have used thrust washers on both sides
this fork would be cool with bearings & parts intended for the fork rather then putting together 3 other forks
have a great week
