What QR15 based for...
 

[Closed] What QR15 based fork?

I'm looking for some recommendations for something second-hand to replace my Marzocchi 44 TST2s. Looking for anything that soaks up hits better particularly over cobbled-type terrain,(which makes up a lot of the trails around my way). Basically anything which will take away as much vibration through to the bars as possible, (to relieve presure on hand problems).
Needs to be QR15 based and post mount up to about £200. Pref 140mm travel but anything bigger if it would work.
Any ideas?
Thanks

Right then, in the face of limited options....say I managed to find the £400 odd quid for the Fox 32s (don't tell the wife!), would really it make that much difference? Any experiences?

Thanks QWERTY, I 'd read that but it's a diff question really as I've already got QR15 forks - it was more a case of whether I'd find that much of a difference upgrading to the Fox 32s from the Marzocchi 44s. I don't want to shell out 400 quid only to be disappointed. Cheers

speak to Windwave and see if you can get the RC3 internals for your current fork, it might be a cheaper option and you should end up with a very different fork.

THanks for the idea Dan, nice bit of lateral thinking! I'll get on to them.
Any other ideas while I'm here anyone?
