Can anyone recommend a decent set of forks.
I am building up a Marin B-17, Ive spent a fair bit getting the rear shock serviced at MOJO and spent lots on good components, I dont want to let the bike down with rubbish forks.
I ride XC mainly but do a bit of down hill, not atlot though.

I guess i need a good cross fork, not sure,

any ideas???
thanks

    how much travel is the frame warrantied for?

    Best fork would be a revelation with a maxle though! or a reba with maxle depending on the amount of travel needed.

    You'll probably get better advice in the mountain bike section of the forum. We don't do shocks and suspension round here :D

    Rockshox Revs would be a good start, as said.
