Been hovering over those thors but I really don't need / want any 15mm. Bargain. I have 2009s. For just over £200 they're excellent.

The DT's are good value as well

Managed to bag myself a set of Magura brakes for €89 but they seem to have sold out pretty quickly!

Some good deals on the forks there as well.

Hmm mAgura forks! My mate had some Ronin's and they actually stiffened up over a prolonged period of heavy use, i.e. a long descent - IDEAL!

Oh and by all accounts it was a design feature!
Hmmm....

Thank God they're tapered (and that I double checked before clicking confirm purchase). Divorce averted.

wisepranker - was looking at them with fingers hovering. Lucky for me you hit the button before I could get myself into trouble. Seemed like a pretty good deal.

So tempted on a set of those 120mm forks for the anthem. But 1) I don't really need them, and 2) I don't really need them. However, i think i need them?

Payday tomorrow too, but i really shouldn't!

At that price complete with rotors I couldn't resist them!
They're going on my Roadrat, should work a treat on there. I got a set of the carbon fibre FSA bars for it as well, bit if a bargain considering that I was looking at the same bars on CRC for about £40 🙂

When the last sale happened it was for the fox forks and that was the day before pay day so no forks.
Today is pay day and I now have some new DT swiss forks.

I was lucky last time as well, managed to get myself a set of Fox Talas for £200 in the last sale 🙂

I hate tapered forks, it's only going to get harder to get new forks for my 1 1/8 bike. 🙁

oh dear. Im now 210 pounds worse off, and have a pair of maguras that dont fit any of my current bikes.

How long do rose normally take to deliver, and do they send recorded?

The cheap Magura's seem to be sold out.
Tempted by the DT's - they would solve my service or replace conundrum but they seem heavy for a 120mm fork at 1800g?

Yep, I've got a set of the thors, albeit with a straight steere.
Very light, very stiff and very plush. Oh, and easy to service too. Air pressure is a bit sensitive, to once you get that sorted, they're great.

Ah, I see they've sold the cheap set now. Someone got a bargain...

That's a typo on the weight for those DT forks - more like 1600g max

On DT's site they range from 1640 to 1750g depending on qr/15mm and carbon crown.
