Can anyone give some advice on these forks?

How old are they?
Any know problems with that model?
Are they any good for general XC use (I do like hopping and jumping down trails but nothing serious :roll: )
What would be a good guide price?

Would be going on to a 09 Cube attention.

Thanks

i'd avoid due to the rub on the crown, you can see where it has removed some metal... not good. If the owner didn't notice that then you can bet he didn't bother servicing them so that'll add £75 for a service at tftuned to give it a good check over or £15 to do it yourself.

Certainly not worth that money!

You could just buy these:http://www.merlincycles.co.uk/marzocchi-and-rockshox-suspension-forks/rockshox-suspension-forks/rockshox-recon-sl.html

or spend a bit more and get Reba SLs....

If you buy secondhand you could be looking at adding £100 to get a pair of forks serviced.Even servicinng themselves,it soon adds up by the time you add up the cost of a seal kit,oil and tools.
