Hi all, I'm looking to upgrade my suspension forks and being a tight Yorkshire man wanting to buy a secondhand pair which I can refurb. Thoughts please on the type and model of forks which are good quality and above all have parts easily available and can be refurbished without the need for specialist tools. Looking for something as a bit of a project build. 1 1/8" not tapered 130mm travel. Thoughts please

    Any decent fork can readily be rebuilt.
    Personally I'd look for a Rockshox Reba or Revelation as the older Fox's were less reliable, or a Suntour Epicon/Epixon.
    I've just sold on some 2009 Revelations that were still working perfectly and all in excellent condition despite me converting them from 26 to 29" and maxing out the travel.
    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.
