Evening all,
I'm after a 120mm travel fork with a tapered steerer and maxle.
The Fox forks seem to cost an obscene amount of money...
Reba is looking like the best option but seem to cost the earth with a tapered steerer.
It is for a Cotic Soul if that makes any difference, currently run a coil sprung Sektor at 130mm on my current Soul but fancy something lighter.
just run a straight fork and change the headset if money is an issue
Yeah considered that but fancied a tapered steerer as the frame has a tapered headtube..
Moon on a stick probably but hey ho.
CRC recycled sale?
I'll go have a look..
Nowt in CRC recycle section..
Will I notice a huge difference on front end stiffness etc with a tapered steerer? I'm 11.5 stone and not harsh on kit.
How much? You can prob pick something 2nd hand off here for reasonable amounts
one of the german or french stores was selling Rebas for about 250 euros and Merlin and On One often have cracking sales.
If you see a non-tapered Reba for a good price just get it. I would value a bolt through axle more than a tapered steerer if you have wheels you can convert to 15 or 20mm bolt through.

Reba for £250
£250 - £275 is what I was looking to spend.. Yeah I thought a bolt through would be more important than a tapered steerer.
We've got some fox F120 Tapered 15mm forks going for £350 at work..
Email me at mikedonald@hotmaildotcom please mate.
try merlin cycles. Some big discounts on there, especially if you can cope with a 15mm axle.
X fusion forks are having some really good reveiws etc,
Not used them but thinking I might get some, one of the things I like about them is most can have there travel adjusted which be ideal for the soul!

There is plenty of Tapered steerer forks fairly cheap in the classified. Short travel ones don't seam popular yet. I got a 2011 Reba RL Tapered 20mm in good condition for £190.
Hi Ferrit,
I was emailing u a couple of weeks ago but they were just a bit over my budget.
Have been scanning the classifieds, needs to be white tho. Bought a pair of classifieds described as mint before and they turned up rough as a badgers backside, so would rather buy new If I could.
I been using X-Fusion Velvets for the last few months and have been well impressed. Its a light, simple (Air, rebound, lockout) 15mm bolt-thru and available in tapered steerer. Internally adjustable 80-130 I have mine at 120. Can be found for about £300 new. White or black.
