I have a saracen mantra 3 2006. It came with J3's which i am replacing. I will buy marzocchi but there are different options.
1. Will i be able to fit 150mm of travel to this bike? (J3's were 130)
2. All mountain 3 2007 (£190) or Drop off 2007 (£135) Both are on chainreaction cycles.
What are the pros and cons of each? Will the all mountains take much abuse? Help!

    Why are you set on Zocchi. I would have thought a Recon would suit your bike perfectly.

    You could fit a 150mm fork to your bike as long as you're happy that it'll have a slacker head and as long as the fork has some kind of travel adjust or lockdown for climbing.
