Have a read of the fork guide in the FAQ.

what frame? Will you be able to go to the full travel? If out and out xc then go for the air ones, they're a fair chunk lighter.

I'm another one that's confused by the huge variety of forks available. I've read the FAQ and although I understand what the physical difference between forks are I don't know how this translates into what's used when.

Are air shocks more suited to a more gentle style of riding ? If you plan to get a bit more adventurous then should you go coil spring ? Is there any difference in life expectancy of the forks or does one need more frequent servicing ? When do you need dual air over solo ? The questions seem never ending !!

I realise there's never going to be a definitive answer as to what's best and that personal preference is going to have a lot to do with it but it'd be great if someone could some up the pro's and con's of the different types or do an idiot's guide.

Cheers
