Hi all, got my eye on a couple of sets of forks for my piglet build, new to this building malarky but have done my research, would just like to get some opinions other than my own. One I am looking at are DT Swiss but are 2010 model, at £350 they are at the top of my budget.
Anyone got a piglet that can be of any help here? Not bothered about going cheaper if there are better forks for less money.
Really looking forward to my first build, and would like to get it right first time so any other piglet owners with advice would be appreciated.
Cheers
Sonny

What travel are you wanting to run? I tested one with 120mm, was superb. This is a great fork for the money:

But I'd check with merlin if it can be extended to 120mm (some can)0 -
Cheers supersonic, yeah 120 was my travel that I was looking at, should of been a bit more specific in the post. The piglet is designed for optimal 120 travel so that was my choice. Although the DT Swiss were 130 the reviews seemed superb. The reba was one that I looked at but thought it would of been stated if they could be extended to 120. I will enquire tomorrow though.

Went for the rebas in the end, but the RL 2012's withe 15 mm axle. Now for the only other tough decision for me, do I go for a complete group set from Merlin (value) or trust the sets coming from far east on eBay? away for a month now so have plenty of time to decide while the poor wee piggy sits in the loft.
