I asked on here a few days ago: "where's best to buy a fork thse days", someone posted a link to Alltricks website. I just bought a 130mm Reba (boost) brand new for £234 delivered.... My first part for my hardtail build up 🙂 I think that's a fantastic Friday bargain.

Cheers, just ordered a pair for the rigid single speed (N+1) bike that has now become a 1x10 hard tail, which is the same as bike no2.... oops.

You're welcome. I think that's unbeliveably good value for a 130cm Reba, the RRP is £500.

That may have been me. Glad you got a bargain. I bought a set last month for my big dog build. Thought it was a great deal.

Hi

Nice find- they are OK forks- I have a set of the 29" ones on my Boardman hardtail, but I could not for the life of me get them set up to work well- the correct sag set mean that as stock they were too soft and needed 3 of a possible 5 air tokens in them (80kg rider).

This improved things, but I found that the motion control damper was a bit spikey when going over roots and other things, so I bought the RCT3 compression damper to go into it, effectively making it a top of the line fork:

With both of the above I am now happy with the performance of the fork!
