As the title says,
I'm looking to change the forks on my Airborne Lancer,
the current ones are non integrated [so i assume i'm limited to non integrated]
anybody got any ideas or recommendations.
anyone know of any good deals out there that i may have missed.
would consider excellent condition 2nd hand ones so keeping an eye on ebay.
budget depends on how much i can et for some items currently being sold on ebay so any price range would be considered,
cheers, scurry

    You can fit integrated forks. I fitted a pair of Kinesis Tracer forks to my Airbourne Valkarie last year. I would also have a look at the Easton EC90 forks (my first choice but there were supply issues when I needed a pair). Both the Kinesis and Easton forks are around the £200 mark.

    The other thing I found when I was looking was that there are some budget forks at around the £100 mark and then there is a big jump to £200+ for the higher end stuff. My budget was right in the middle and the options were thin on the ground so I decided to stretch myself to get something better.

    Oh, I really like the Kinesis forks. Much better than the ITM MIllenium ones that they replaced.

    I have a VN Euros which is very similar to the Lancer. I fitted a Ritchey Pro Carbon fork (43mm rake) bought from PBK and am very pleased with the result. The handling is very good, especially speedy downhills. It got a very high rating in C+ fork reviews a while back. I also fitted a Chris King headset.
