[#6114102]

Circa 160mm travel

Light (lighter than van rc2 anyway)

20mm axle

And reasonably cheap / easy to maintain?

something like a marzocchi 55 maybe

Got some 2011 van rc2s that I love (some stanchion wear but work perfectly) - but they're not light. Don't want to spend loads so looking at swap / sell deals. How much would I expect to get for mine and how much would replacements be?

Actually - ignore this self-indulgent post

I don't need anyone to tell me what forks I need and more to the point I don't actually need any

The new 160mm Pikes seem the new go to, I have Fox 34's seem pretty good so far, but I think Pikes are said to be better, New 36's are coming 20mm or 15mm option and lighter than the olld 36's

Got to be s/h as I'm not flush for cash

Can't be new pikes as they don't have 20mm axle (and my hub isn't interchangeable)

XF vengeance sound good but it'd depend on what they go for and what I'd get for old fox
