What new forks?

gillypoo

Hi All,
I am by no means new to the forum but after thinking about buying a new bike I cannot justify it at the moment so I am thinking of upgrading my current bike, i have a spec hardrock sport 2010 and am looking at the forks, they are heavy and cumbersome could do with some smoother and lighter forks without a huge spend no more than £200, would that make a huge difference to the riding of the bike?
cheers

Serious improvement for just over £100

Or hunt down some Recon Solo Air or Rebas.

As CD says or Recon Gold Solo Airs for £200 here http://www.merlincycles.com/bike-shop/f ... brake.html

Good price and bang on budget with discount.

Steel steerer, Turnkey, Solo air... I'd spend a bit more on the Reba:

I can highly recommend a Suntour Epicon - under budget and a good fork.

Unless the budget is there for a reason, like that's the budget.

Hope it's ok to post this (mods?) but I am just about to sell a 2011 RockShox Rebas RL - the 100mm travel only version. Was planning to put them in the classifieds next week They are 2011, dual air, motion control, pop lock etc in

I bought them earlier this year for my Rockhopper, but have just bought a new bike and am intending to put the old Toras back on to sell it. Rebas are great forks, generally highly recommended on here and perfect for a Hardrock.

pm me if you are interested.

hence "spend a bit more" (if you can!). The Recon Gold aint worth it.

Aaah yes, just missing the 'if you can' bit.
