Hello and welcome!
What year is the bike, and what forks are on there at the moment?0 -
You don't necessarily need more, you need better. Or forks that actually work anyway.I don't do smileys.

Steerer length and diameter, in the case of a Hardrock, 1 1/8th inch plain and length you can measure.
I understand the Hardrock frame will take 100mm forks, more than that would be a bad idea.Currently riding a Whyte T130C, X0 drivetrain, Magura Trail brakes converted to mixed wheel size (homebuilt wheels) with 140mm Fox 34 Rhythm and RP23 suspension. 12.2Kg.0 -
Where abouts in Kent are you? Get yourself to along Bedgebury if you can and go exploring round there.0

Ahhh cool, i live on the isle of sheppey ;-( haha well im just looking for a bike rack for the car, theres only one track on the island and its getting pretty boring! Yeh i want to try bedgbury, heard its quite good there? Ahhh i shall look for a new fork with 100mm then.... Although i can see myself getting a full sus to as im catching the mtb fever;-)0

Roof bars and bike carrier is best bet.
Sure someone will disagree and say they're £9.99 halfords boot mount does just as good a job0
