What fork? (I know its asked alot but its important)

Hi guys,

now im sure your all sick to death of people asking about forks but i do need help as my last fork i had broke, the dropout snapped off so im using a sh*ty old one i bought for a fiver of my mate. It was fine until recently the stanchion started to shudder when using the front brake. so now im desperate for a new fork. I need one thes around 60-120 pounds (which doesnt give much option) and it needs to be good at street riding, a bit of DJ,XC and some light DH. now i know that its impossible for a fork to do all those things for that price so i just want a fork that wont break easily by doing thoses things. any ideas?

GT Tempest 2.0

and i have been looking on ebay but i wanted to know what i could get brand new

Brand new forks for £60-£120 will be utter shite and will not stand up to DJ'ing, or light DH, they're even crap at XC

Save up or go 2nd hand.

ok i think ill go 2nd hand

but what about marzocchi DJ 3's?

and i dont realy want an expensive amazing fork i just mainly want one that works cause im trying to save up for a new bike as well but with this fork problem it may take longer than i thought

+1 for second hand. I just got some Recon 351 solo airs for £100 on ebay. Which is a pretty reasonable deal.

If pure strength, go for the DJ.

For more of an all rounder, get a Tora 318

For 120 quid is total steal, tough fork, not too heavy and great performance. RRP for 2009 is 320 quid!

Society Xeno, just in case you stretch your budget.

Total rubbish TBH, you can get a Tora 302 or even 318 in that range.
