Not sure what to get only been back into moutain biking for 1 month - bought a 07 Marin Bobcat but forks (DART 1) are not the best as going off road more and more as I get into it.
Any ideas of upgrade - Rock Shox, Marzocchi
Don't want to buy a pair that are too expensive which means I then have to start upgrading rest of bike to match.
Cheers Ade

That is the thing - do I spend œ100 - œ200? Or more, not sure. The bike only cost œ450 so not sure if any more is worth it.0

Have a look on Ebay for some 2nd Rockshox Pikes, great forks and will make a good upgrade to any bike. Got a set for œ200 the other day of ebay.

How about the Marzocchi MX Pro 2007 for œ145 of chain reaction. They're supposed to be good and you can't go far wrong with Marzocchi0
