Front suspension (Forks)

Fresh60mmForks

I'm looking for some front forks, I currently have SR suntour M-3000's. They're way too soft, I'm looking for some adjustable ones. I commute to work and back (14.4mile round trip), it's smooth in some part and bumpy in others. It would be nice to have the ability to make it 100% rigid, but any shocks that you can adjust to make harder will do fine...


Any suggestions?

Thanks

Any rockshox with the Turnkey or Moco Damper than has a lockout function would probably be best. Whats the budget?

What bike is it for, and what fittings ie steerer type and diameter, brake mounts?

£100....

I'm sure that's reasonable enough, don't mind paying more, but after a quick Google search they seem to be this much... ?

I looked it up, you need a threadless 1 1/8th inch fork for a 700c wheel with V brake mounts. They are pretty rare, and will end up costing more than you paid for the bike for a decent set.

These are about the minimum worth getting:

But I'd do away with suspension altogether, and get some rigid forks such as:

That sucks!!!!!!!

I didn't really plan this bike when I brought it, I'll probably end up buying a new bike in a about 3 months, just before the london-brighton bike ride. I really can't deal with these forks, slows me down so much and I can feel it, I don't want rigid

Hmm I'll do some research, but I can see myself buying a new buy, only brought it last friday lmao!

Why do you not want rigid? Most people cope just fine with Rigid on the road.

These are a bit better than what you have now (not much, but at least have lockout)
