Was thinking of splashing out on some top Fox forks for my 2008 Giant XTC 2.5 - All im asking is any recommendations?? How do i know what size to buy - fitting etc etc. Cheers 8)

You are after 1 1/8 inch steerer and 80 to 100 mm of travel. The Fox forks are a good fork but there are many better alternatives in this class.0

Rock shox Reba, any model!0

Probably not - that fork uses a 20mm axle. You most probably need a normal QR fork. You can get Rebas like that though.0

OK, Cheers. Something like this then?

I presume Reba's are the right way to go...... Just from what people have said on this thread0 -

I've got the 2008 version of these and I think they're great, good value as well, the one's listed in your last post are for 29" wheels I think.0 -

Erm, no...they are for 29er wheels, you need just plain old Reba SL, Team or Race. I have the SL's 2009, as has been said many times here they are pretty faultless.0
