Reba's are on my list, what else is worth looking at?

Not that up on the latest models, what else can you recommend looking at 100-120mm? less than 4lb mark?

SIDs. As above I wouldn't touch Fox with yours (if only to avoid having to deal with Mojo)

Just got pair of SID Race from Merlin for just over £300. So far I'm impressed.

I have SID teams and Rebas, both are excellent forks. Unless you are racing go for the Rebas as the extra cost isnt really worth it (unless you can get a tasty deal on some Sids : )

Who services Rockshox forks and how do they compare with Mojo?

TFT do RockShox (and Fox IIRC) and they're great 🙂

So it looks like another pair of Rebas, thanks for the advice.

Magura or DT Swiss. Look on the Pace web site, they have a pair of DT XMC 100 for £399, which puts them back into real world pricing instead of the £699 list.

I may regret asking this but, as a non - Fox user, ever, what is the problem with 'em? Or is it just the, er, forthright Mr Porter @ MOJO??

It's the alarming rate at which the stanchions wear. Which doesn't seem to be alleviated by their short service times. Every other fork manufacturer seems to be able to produce forks that don't suffer from this. Fox have suggested that rather than sorting out their issues, that users a) store the bike upside down (again this seems to have no effect), b) be bloody grateful that MOJO exist at all, c) Stop complaining, as they are top drawer race parts, and can't be expected to last anyway, and finally d) wait for hell to freeze over before admitting that this is in fact a defect, and the forks should be warrantied...Other than that, they're great.

I think that just about covers it.

Another nod of the head to Mavericks sc32 ok they are more travel but they are so silky smooth and plush.

SIDs, or Rebas if you don't wanna spend as much.
