|
I've convinced my two roadie friends to get on Mountainbikes so we can
mix up our rides a bit. However my Trek 4300 is in serious need of a
new suspension fork. The stock RST Gila feels like a wet noodle no
matter how much adjustment is made. What would be a good replacement
fork that won't bust the bank? The most I can probably afford is say
250-300 bucks. I won't be taking any monster jumps but we will hit the
trials rather hard.
Thanks,
Javier

I vote for a used Manitou SX-R or SX-Ti if you can find one on ebay or
craiglist for $50. One of the most reliable forks ever made IMO.

i agree with the financial argument, but think fox forks are much better
and worth the reach.
