Fork advice Giant Trance x
PashleyRider
Posts: 180
Hello, I have a Giant Trance X5 with some Reba Teams fitted to it currently. I am finding them a bit short for the bike (115mm travel) and I think going to some 130-140mm forks would be a good plan as I am finding my BB is quite low and many other riders seem to be using 130-140mm on theirs. I use the bike for trail center style riding and like doing the rougher stuff.
What I would like to know is what fork should I go for? Also I would like to know how much my current Reba Team dual air U turns with remote lockout are worth? They work perfectly, but the lowers are scratched from pedals scraping against them.
Something of similar quality to the Rebas would be great (adjustable travel isn't essential, lockout of some form would be very useful though). I currently have 9mm dropouts but would be happy to upgrade to 15/20mm if necessary (rebuilding my wheels not an issue). I definitely want air forks again!
Ideally I do not want to spend a great amount (£200ish budget currently) but I will save up and spend the extra if necessary. I think going secondhand/doing a swap or PX might be my best bet financially. I do not care if the forks are super modern, just want decent function.
Cheers in advance!
EDIT: These look spot on for the price...

Great forks, but 150mm is pushing it a bit. Don't thinks these can be converted to lower without a new air spring either.0

Damn really? They aren't like the others which the spacers then?0

As far as I know, the new solo air spring system is different. Worth double checking with TF Tuned though.0

Yeah I'll ask this week, cheers!
Do you have any other recommendations for suitable forks? It seems Rockshox are the way to go so far0 -
Nothing matches them for price at the minute.0
