    Without a budget, it's not easy to tell you what to buy, but if money allows, the new Rockshox Pikes are meant to be moreorless unbeatable.

    As for tyre sizes, I believe on most 29ers the limiting factor is going to be the space between the tyre and the frame, more than the width of the of the rim. Have a look at your existing setup and see what the clearance is like currently.
  • Sorry forgot to say budget is about £400 ish
    Clearance on the frame is fine the fork should allow for a slightly wider tyre aswell

    You might mention travel as well. Recons will be short travel XC. Pikes are not.
