Cheapest would be the suntour Epicon 29er with a 15mm axle.

Recon Solo air is the cheapest id go for, anything lower spec and you might as well buy rigids

They don't have any RLT's in stock but these aren't badly priced, especially with screw through axle

If you don't want to pay Reba (or Fox!) prices I'd go with the Manitous. I had a set of Drakes for a bit and was impressed for the price.

Well clobber me...Clobber's clobbered Clubbers forks...

Carbon rigids work far better on a 29er. If you can borrow some give them a try, you might be surprised. The Exotic ones are finished a lot better than On-One One's.

Or save your cash & wait till some maxle Reba Teams come up. They really are brilliant.

Not the normal fork and needs a conversion kit (easily done apparently), but cheap!

I am not the seller but bought one recently (for a 26er MTB)

I have a set of the Epicons on my SS and they have been fine, not in the same league as Reba's on my other 29ers but certainly not bad for the money.

It'd be interesting to see what Clobber did to his?

They were always very flexy and then they just went all wobbly between the stanchions and lowers.. Took them off before an incident occurred... Now sitting in shed if someone fancies a project....
