    I think the sektors are £220 - even better!

    Are those sektors (Rockshox Sektor RL 150mm Solo Air@£219.99) adjustable? Can they be set for 130mm travel?
    Thinking of upgrading my forks on my core 20, and the frame can only take forks up to 130mm.

    Not too sure, maybe - call the shop or TF Tuned.

    SID forks for £250 thats about 100 cheaper than merlin for those.

    Would those rockshox SID be a too over the top upgrade from some suntour xcm forks ?

    No, no fork can be over the top (in terms of quality) though you may be better off spending the money elsewhere on the bike (depending on your future plans!).

    Just the forks at the minute as they are rubbish and really stiff springs, changing them should lose weight on the front hopefully for better hill climbing.

    The SID will be a revelation, pardon the pun.
