Hey I'm new to mountain biking and new to the forum hello! I'm wanting to buy folk because I feel the suntour one I have isnt up to scratch. I dont have a massive budget but was looking at spending a max of £250. Whats good for this price are rockshox best or is the marzocchi maraphon LR any good? I'll be doing mostly cross country with some dh but not to steep. What are you're suggestions are fox vanilla any good as i've seen them go second hand in my budget range? Any advice is appreciated

    Personally I'd avoid going for a second hand fork unless you know it's been looked after well - you could incur further expensive on maintenance otherwise.
