My friend has got enough money to buy some decent forks. :)

He prefers to have the price lower but will stretch his budget if he really needs to.

He wants either dual air or coil air forks with the main focus on the damping efficiency.

Because he has a XC bike, he wants a fork length above 100mm and below 150mm.

If anyone has any suggestions please share 8)

Thanks :mrgreen:

    What bike exactly - 100-150mm is a massive range. What hubs does he have?

    he has a quick release hub but I don't know what the hub width he has. His bike is a Scott Aspect 20

  • why is he spending £600 on a set of forks on a bike that is only worth £699 new?

    I honestly don't know but ill run that through with him to see if he realises that he could get a new bike with better forks.

    He'd get a set of Rebas for a few hundred, no need to spend more.
