the manufacturers fit it with a 120mm fork (i have rigid version), but they are hard to find a jump fork that is 120mm and at a half decent price. What is the max/min travel that i can have without screwing the handling up. I also want suggestions on upgrades to get for it, but as cheap as possible, as i have no active income (still at school).

Contact Saracen for details on frame. I suspect its 120mm. Many people just use 100mm for jumping anyway.0

DJ3's (pre 08) some are set to 120mm and can usually be had for £75 or so. Look on the bay and expect to pay about 65-75 pound depending on age and condition.0

depends on what you would call a decent price. 2nd hand DJ's would be your best bet or 2008 DJ's off CRC for £115, sorted.Best quote ever (pinkbike): "i've heard that Hill pees, deffecates, vomits and masturbates before each race to keep the weight down"0

Not really the, '08 DJ3's are like the '07 dirt jam forks, so pretty rubbish. Look for pre '08 DJ3's or get the new DJ2's0 -

Tough, damped, adjustable. 100mm though.0 -

No reports of any breaking! Specced on lots of budget jump bikes - Gt Tempests, Saracens, Mongooses.0
