Hi chaps. I've found the push set and indicated my interest... If that doesn't work put would the manitou set work. I'm a bit of a newb and spinning with matching the parameters.

Sorry Supernova, I think I'm getting dumbbots ones. If that falls through, for whatever reason. I'll give you a shout. Thanks for the help.

Hi all. I thought I should put this thread to bed. After much research, pacing and soul searching I've opted for Suntour Epicon forks. They fitted the spec of my bike perfectly and at a knockdown £128 SWMBO wasn't mad. Sticking Fox forks on an entry level hardtail seemed a little crass anyway.

Thanks for all your advices and offers - much appreciated.

I think the Epicons will suffice for my preferred cycling style which is to head out the front gate for the nearest path or trail and see where my nose takes me. They should stand up to an occasional gravelly downhill section in the Pentlands or gnarly woodland single-track.

Peace-out.

Next time qwerty. New bike (next year) will likely have better wheels. Mine are 9mm axle. I didn't want to spend £200 on forks and have to buy a wheel too.
