Wouldn't bother buying fox if I were you, unless you pay top dollar for their FIT cartridge, there not worth it. A decent rockshox fork (sektor, revelation etc.) will perform better

Cheers I thought this might be the case. Like I said I cant find 1.5" tapered 150mm Sektors, I've seen some revelations that might suit
Here's mine with my current fox 32 float rlc fit 150mm. I just ordered a brand new revelation fork in black. This is my second hornet frame and I think 150mm is ideal travel for this frame. Another fork to consider would be a 2013 marzocchi 44 micro switch. Excellent I hear.
They thought they had the 2012 frame in stock, but they don't. I'm getting a 2013 like yours now. In black aswell. Could you link me to the revelations you've ordered?
Unfortunately I scored my fork on eBay for cheap. I've been looking for a deal on one for a few months and finally found one. Yes my frame is a 14inch. Are you ordering from 26bikes.com?

These forks do have fit, there 450 but that's with a sale on from 800 so it seems like quite a good deal. I am tempted to be honest as the frame was cheap considering
hi pesky will you be posting your full build up,tempted to get this frame as im 15yr old,its
in my budget looks great frame for money and can upgrade when have more cash.like
you looking at forks at min just want something suitable for bit dh jumping etc.

Had its first ride today, faster smoother and just generally better than the full suss in so many ways. Reckon the patriots going to be sold pretty soon.
Thanks man. Yeah, they'd sold out before they'd even receieved their next shipment at slam69 when I got mine. Everyone seems to want one now, I now know why.
Yeah I spoke to slam69, I was thinking because I wanted an 18" I'd be ok... But no! All sold out! Shame really! New ones are due in a few months though!
Another flick. There's been a clicking for a while and I thought that I had it sussed with the spokes not being tensioned properley, seeing as the clicking comes from when I'm standing up and putting the drive train under tension. I got mechanic to tension them up.and the clicking stopped for about a day, but now it's back. It seems to happen once a pedal rotation when the LH crank is at the bottom of it's rotation. If its just a slightly off spoke I'm.not fussed but I dont know if it is
