100mm travel.
To compliment a beautiful Titanium frame.
Money no object.
i like my manitou minutes (26 and 29")
🙂
Money no object? How about a lefty 29er
Sam (Singular) reckons the Rebas.
Rebas worked for me
Rigid all the way now
Manitou Minutes TA.
Love my reba Teams but Lefty would be money no object choice.

If you can get them in the UK - possibly need to buy from the US.
Why the lefty?
Weight, performance?
Good God! Stay away from WB's - they'll be back in service more time than on your bike
The Manitous seem the best all round
Why the lefty?
Weight, performance?
Dunno. I do think they look good though
2010 Fox F29 RLC with 9mm qr and the new FIT damper system. fantastico.........
dt swiss, expensive but lovely 29er forks and the carbon lowers will look ace with a Ti frame 😀
tried the F29, Reba (old and new) and Minute Absolute TA - all 100mm
the winner is the F29
clearance is very poor on the new rebas if you like 2.4 RR's
the absolute damper on my minutes was utter crap (if you go minute get the tpc damper)
i have 29er lefty and its superb..... but only 80 mm travel so not for you 😆
the absolute damper on my minutes was utter crap
The absolute+ damper on the 2010's i have is rather nice.
I have the Fox and Rebas - both great, but the Fox have the edge for me.
It seems at the moment it's more about what's available rather than what you want. Reba teams are in stock in a few places but are £450 for a QR fork. Fox may be worth a go but i have heard they are a tad flexy but i've never ridden one.
I have QR and Bolt Thru Reba's and am very happy with both. I'm looking at a 3rd set soon but don't know what to buy. I need 80/100 and was considering the Manitous but the everse arch thing puts me off. My folks are off to the states soon so i may buy there again but get them to bring them home duty & postage free. DT swiss look nice but again the reliability doesn't seem too good.
Bolt thru would be good so that leave fox and manitou in this country or import one from elsewhere. Let me know if you find any good deals.....
Second the DT Swiss - had an opportunity to have a go with one. Not sure about service intervals but uberlight. Lockdown is superb for climbing and the carbon looks are mega bling.
Brings that total nichewhore look to the average niche 29er.
Sorry ought not to open the bottle before 8.00.
Maverick SC's 😉
2.4 RR, low pressure, nice & wide ti bars, carbon forks 😉
Bolt thru would be good so that leave fox and manitou in this country
Have you tried to buy a TA Fox in the UK?
I was told they were unavailable. 😐
singlespeedstu
have a look here
or jenson have a lovely range

the bolt through 29er zocchi's look rather burly as well
Taz - sorry to butt in on the firm topic btw, what size tyres are you running on your scandal? The chainstays look pretty tight as does the rear mech
That looks like a none UK shop to me mate.
I wanted to buy in the UK as I've had a few fork problems in the past...
Jenson USA won't export Fox's to the UK due to supplier agreements (or something like that)
I've got Minutes and think they are great. Lots of reports on MTBR about creaking and clicking Rebas that have to go back time and again. Have also heard of quite a few prob's with White Bro's
Love the look of the Lefty's and the DT Swiss although there are some more options coming out in the 2011 ranges
stu-sorry I thought you may want some anyway, I'll get me coat
uk shop matey

M6TTF 2.3 wtb exiwolfs and maxxis ardents fit fine, I'm running 2.2 bonty acx at the moment and there is loads of room
They're QR's in the selection box. They've just shown the TA in the picture.
You been on the booze already mate. 😉
Edit. My mate at the LBS spoke to Mojo and they said they wouldn't import them as there was no market for them.
Cheers taz! Can't wait get out on mine 🙂
15mm through axle or 9mm qr option or does your manly girth need a 20mm axle 😀
15mm through axle or 9mm qr option
That's all well and good until you ask for the 15mm option.
They don't have it. 😐
M6TTF- I'm hiding from mine as we had a bit of falling out when I crashed it and ****ed my carbon salsa bars, the scandal was not happy and keeps glaring at me every time I take one of the others out to play until I can get some flatties for it. It's plotting revenge already I can feel it 😕
stu
try here
http://www.rutlandcycling.com/15060/Fox-Shox-32-29er-F100---F120-RLC-Disc---Suspension-Fork.html
and it's cheaper!
after that I'll stop trying to sped your money 😀
QR again. 🙄 😉
Unless it says QR15 in the dropdown selection box it's a QR.
As I said before Mojo [b]are not importing the QR15 F29 fork[/b] 😐
I'm a simpleton I just look at the pretty pictures 😀
Wow lots of love for the minutes glad I got mine when they were rubbish and cheap !
Never tried any others but the minutes are very plush 🙂
Just bought a scandal and fitted a tora to it as couldn't stretch to a reba and got a good price on the tora. Not ridden it yet but seems ok if a bit weighty, especially compared to the shiny new carbon fork I took off!
So new unused carbon fork going in the classifieds as it's not for me!
mate has just got reba 29er maxle lite from the us, to suit a a carver 96er, also bought over the water. black box and all that stuff. look loverly.
Great fork.
Until the creaking starts...
Just fitted some Minute 120mm 20mm axle forks, and they look lovely. Anybody got any air pressure recommendations? I'm about 80kg in my riding gear.
plus 1 for DT Swiss, just finished this build and they feel plush.
