    bike? what travel? you do have a 20mm compatable hub? what is the current brake mounting and disc size?

    blimey! a lot of specifics needed, apologies for not realising!
    I'm just about to build a bike and am looking at purchasing the forks with the frame, it'll be a dmr trailstar 2 frame, I'm gonna be getting a hope m4 brake for the front, not sure what size the hubs are gonna be as I'm buying the wheels new, either dmr or hope hubs.

    not really a DH FR frame.

    .
    The Trailstar2 works best with 90-110mm travel forks

    so Marz dirt jumpers or RS Argyles . or is more All mountain RS revalation/pikes with the U-turn set accordingly.

    maybe but you dont actually wanr some 200mm DH tripple clamps or 170mm FR SC forks do you?

    you require a strong Shortish travel SC fork. hence all the questions at the start.
