Suntour Epicon for £135 on eBay.
Other than that, try and find some Recon Solo Airs in sales - check Merlin Cycles, JeJamesCycles, Chain Reaction, etc.0 -

That seems like a bargain? DT Swiss are mega rare and expensive?!0 -
He'll need a new wheel too though.0

Not really, and a bugger to get serviced/parts, and a tapered steerer, and a 15mm axle, so might not fit, and might need a new wheel.kammybear wrote:miceden wrote:A set of DT Swiss forks...? http://www.rczbikeshop.com/default/dt-s ... white.html

Yup, tapered steerer too, so won't fit a Vengeance.0

Well they will with a new lower headset bearing. But I certainly wouldn't be considering them if I were the OP.
Epicons or Recon Golds, the Silvers are OK but quite heavy and the Epicon is a better option.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 -
Hi
Thanks for all the info, look,s like the epicons will be the ones. Them and a set of new tyres that will do both road and off road then see where I go from there.

I have looked on ebay and shop sites, I will be buying in about a week or so, I will look properly then.

Would the extra axle to crown height of an external headset be a good idea though, given that you'd already be going from 100mm to 120mm travel? Pushing the frame's limits a bit?0 -
