Hi all
I'm brand new on here. Used to do a lot of MTBing but had a break til last year. Back into it big time now & last year bought a hardtail Trek 6000. Not a bad bike, but main gripe is the forks (Suntour xcr lockout) Really not up to the job of my single track hammering, plus I'm a big lad 6ft 2" & 15 stone.
Want to swap them for something better. Quite happy to buy second hand. Would like to have a lockout option but not essential.
Any recommendations? Anyone got any for sale.
Thanks in advance all.

Rockshox Reba's would be my suggestion: reliable, decent performance, not too heavy, home servicable, lot and lots of options to choose from & comes with pushloc/poploc type lockout/anti-bob system.
They can be adjusted from 85-100-115mm travel (older models) or 80-100-120mm on the newer ones - so can be tuned to your bikes travel requirements.
You'll be looking from £120 upwards for a decent set 2nd hand, older ones lack the (2009[?]) power bugle (nice but not essential), Team's (pre name change) with the Black box damping cost more... a maxled version 120mm would be nice but isn't essential.
Ive actually been looking at the Reba's, definitely a sweet fork. Bit pricey though for me at the moment, even second hane they seem to go for over £200.
I've got the 6300 and swapped my Dart's for Reba's and it made a big difference and i'm carrying an extra stone over you.
