Had a bad crash on Cutgate path and it looks like my Sektor fork is going to be written off (stanchions bent)

Any online deals for a 160mm bolt thru fork? Doesnt seem much about!

yeah i was looking at Marzo's How are you finding them - I have always been a Rockshox guy, but my mates Marzos seem a lot more plush than my RS.

I was initially tempted by the Marzos, but a combination of a previous years' bad reps + a cracking deal on some RS Lyrik DHs made me go RS. Two weeks later, the stanchions showed anodizing wear so they went back to be exchanged for the 55s.

The 55s are silly plush - tricky to get set up right as the manual is cack and the Marzo website doesn't have handy setup tips like the RS website does. But tinker and play and you get to the sweet spot eventually - they seriously rock. And i quite like the 3 years no service stipulation warranty...

After seeing some hysterical prices over the last few months there are some lovely deals at Winstanleys right now.

fuzzhead I really do question how they can be worth almost £700 though.

If your bike is covered on a home contents all risks insurance policy check as you will probably be able to claim for the fork on it.
