Hi there,
I have Specialized Hardrock Disc I think 2008-9 ??
I want to keep it as my holiday bike and recently replaced BB/Crank set / chain / cassette / brakes etc...
...now its time for the fork.
What fork do you recommend and which one would fit the frame ??
Ideally lockable;
Dont want to spend more than 100quid on it.
Should I go 2nd hand or something new ??
What else (parts) do I need to replace it ??
Cheers

I would look for one without the bar mounted lockout. They last 5 minutes. Bombproof fork though.Transition Patrol - viewtopic.php?f=10017&t=130702350

OK, after upgrading my bike a bit probably only forks and wheels left waiting for some TLC...
Well, back to my fork question - anything else there or should I go for Rockshox mentioned above?
New or second hand??

Suntour Epicon, much better than the same priced RS forks, can be had for circa £135Currently 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

Would like one with standard lock...0 -
Yup, like those.
Unless you are doing a lot of road riding, I wouldn't bother with a lockout.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
