Hi all,

The thread in the socked of the top nut that holds the brake mech has gone in my RockShox TORA XC Solo Airs and I'm looking at getting some new forks.

I'm looking to increase the travel to 140/150, the frame is Marin Rocky Ridge 2009 which I think should be fine with this travel (Toras were 130) and have been looking at Sektors and Revelations on line.

I've noticed some have 15mm or 20mm maxel, I'm no expert when it comes to fork spec, so I'm not sure what difference this makes but I think the Toras were 20mm, so I'm assuming I should stick with 20mm.

Anyway, as you've probably guessed, I'm after some advice on getting some new forks. Are Sektors/Revelations a good way to go? I'm not adverse to recommendations of decent older forks to save a bit of cash but I need to get them soon so I don't miss the summer.

Any advice welcome!
