I'm looking at upgrading my current forks to some rock shox rebas, but i am unsure on which ones to get.

Merlin have these and they#re on offer at the moment for £224

Whilst CRC have last year's for £300

Which ones am i best getting? Obviously i'd save 70 odd quid with buying from merlin but am i losing out on performance?

Cheers

    The ones from CRC already have had the steerer tube cut so might not fit your bike. No info on the steerer length on them either, just 'Cut Steerer'

    I don't think you'd notice a performance difference between the two, very similar forks.

    I'd have the Merlin ones

    Hi,

    I have a set of 2009 Rebas SL's going for £150. They are in excellent condition. Email me for pics.

    Really annoying that they don't say how long the steerer is. I was going to buy some forks when they had the 10% off (finished on the 27th) as I had a £20 gift voucher to put towards them.

    What about the 2009s from on one, would they be better than those from merlin?
