Hello,
Just thought I would say hi, as its a nice think to do. I've had a giant talon one for just over a year now and i have been out and about on it around Haldon forest near Exeter. Having read a few topics and reviews about upgrades and which parts to replace I have purchased a front avid elixr 7 brake setup with a 180mm rotor and have been looking at upgrading the dart 2 forks for something better, perhaps to a 120mm set any advice would be appreciated.

Hi and welcome.
What bike is it, and what budget do you have for forks?0 -
It's a giant talon one last years model, no more then £200 but I was thinking more second hand as I have been browsing the for sale pages and watching eBay for a set0
-
And what fork is on there at the minute?0

It's the rockshox dart 2 i messed up the bike is not last years model it's a 2010 I got it at the end of 2011 for a bargain price I hope.0

This would be good one to look at but you need to check the steerer length before you buy a fork. Measure from the crown of the fork to the top of the stem and try and get longer you can cut down but cant make it longer. This one has 203mm of steerer.

You won't get a better fork for that money.0
