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?

+1 for second hand. I just got some Recon 351 solo airs for £100 on ebay. Which is a pretty reasonable deal.0

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!0 -
