Just some info required before I part with my hard earned wonga.....Can I fit the Recon with 140mm travel on an On-one Inbred frame??? Or is this just too much for the frame???
What max travel would you suggest if it is too much?????

The Inbred is warantied upto a 130mm fork but it doesn't ride to well at this.
It rides best at 100mm travel, if you want more, you should probably have a 4560 -
It can ride well at that, depends on the rider. You can reduce the the fork with spacers.0

Cheers for that, It's just I've seen a set for sale @ £265 and thought this was a really good deal, might look for something else around the same price, any recommendations???Project Finished....On-one Inbred..

They are cheaper at Merlin for a short time though

You take out the spcer inside and they extend to 120mm.
See DSRAM service guides.0 -

They are out of stock.
The ones from Merlin are all travel and you can choose form white or black so I would probably go for those0 -
Currently running Dart 3's are the Reba's worth the extra dosh as an upgrade???Project Finished....On-one Inbred..

I'd consider these as well...

Travel is adjustable for either 120 or 140mm....In fact I'm seriously considering them for my white P7 now!0 -
Oh yeah, chuck in curve ball why don't ya!!!!!!!
Only joking thanks for heads up, how do they compare with the reba's though????Project Finished....On-one Inbred..

Couldn't tell you as I've never ridden either!
But I'd say it depends on the type of riding you think you're gonna be doing most. If you've already got the in-bred and shall mostly be doing XC/trail centres and the like the the Rebas would be the best bet in my opinion, as they're a lotlighter than the 'zocchis and potentially a better match to your frame.
Though with the marzochhis you do have the option of going longer (to 140mm) if you decide the big hitting type of riding is more your style (marzzochi do have a rep of being pretty bulletproof as well).0 -
The Inbred will not take a 140mm travel fork and is not designed for big hits so the zocchi is pretty irrelevant IMHO0
-
But it is adjustable tp 120mm, which you'll find is what the op was after0
-
I is, yes, but it still more of a big hit fork which is what the OP is not after0
-
Not really, it is a middle of the road trail fork. Nice piece of kit for the money. Almost boght one myself last year.0
-
OK, now it's my turn to chuck in a wingdinger, got a set of Zochii 22r's also, still in box never fitted, bit of an impulse buy for my Subway which I use for everyday commutes to work. How do these weigh up against the dart 3's...Project Finished....On-one Inbred..

The 2009 are around the same weight with the Dart 3, but the 2010 are 300g+ heavier.
Which one those are?0 -

My bad. (Blame the online shop by giving false information)
The 2009 aren't the same weight with the Dart 3.
They are 2458 g from Marzocchi official website.
Dart 3 2191g.0 -
