My Fox Vanillas have finally died 🙁

They are for my 5spot so I need 130mm, coil, and in an ideal world, black.
I've got a fair idea about what I want, just canvasing opinion really, so opinions please!

Are you not tempted just to stick new, 140mm Vanillas on there, maybe with a touch less preload (if you really think you'll feel the extra 10mm)?

People I sometimes ride with seem to love their coil Pikes too.

I asked nbt about his forks Martyn. They were indeed from Merlin, there aren't any left (oh no) and he really likes them.

ohhh Sunday bump…

My forks came from CRC, not Merlin, but they've soldout. Bikeoutlet.co.uk seem to thave the next best price for 426, although Rutland have good prices for 454s: I'm not sure it's worth the extra myself

Loving my 454s on my 5 Spot, the 20mm TA is great

do they need replacing right now? as the 2010 Revelations look like they might be worth a look.
