As title, something for general trails - Pike too much fork, Revelation u-turn seems the obvious choice, but any other suggestions welcome. Would be buying s/hand (or NOS 07/08 if there's anything left....).

^ he is right you know. Unless you want more bling / travel adjuster / bit stiffer cos like me you are a biffer, they work just fine, and reliable.

I have F120's which I can very much recomend. The only :thumbdown: would be the 15 hour seal service which Fox recommend you do. This can get a bit inconvenient, especially when you ride often.

New 09 Rockshox rebas go up to 120mm if you take the travel reducing spacer out

Try Magura Menjas at 130mm (if not too long).

Light (1705g) stiff and totally reliable. Recently got an 08 pair from evolution cycles in Bournemouth for £240 new.

Remember that Rockshox are the same before you go slagging fox too much...

Recons look like a good suggestion. With the current prices you're doubling the cost just to move up one model in the range!

thumba up for fox here and the seal service is fairly straight forward. Does anyone really do it every 15 hours????

My Reba's appear to spit their own seals out after 30 mins to an hour!
