Fork help

Hi I have a teocali and love it . I am thinking of upgrading the forks from the tora 289 u turn coils and wanted to know what people recommend . Are air forks better or just different. Regards Neil

What is your budget? How are the Toras letting you down? Air is lighter and more adjustable, but can be less smooth.

Hi they keep bottoming out and have no preload adjust . also the rebound seems to quick even fully adjusted

What is your budget?

I'd have a look at the Rockshox Sektor and Revelation, preferably the latter, and if the former, the RL version. You need a standard quick release fork.

Merlin cycles and OnOne worth a look.

Hi someone has said I may be able to convert these forks to air . Would this be worth doing. How much and where could I get the parts from regards Neil

It's possible but not worth it. It will be a lot of cash to end up with a poor air fork. Just because its air doesn't make it better, you will still have the rebound problem and no compression damping.
