Need some new forks for Giant Anthem. There are some good deals on the above 120mm travel forks - any thoughts about which is better? Is there any difference in how often they need maintenance?

Cheers

No idea on the rs stuff but to fox are dead esay to strip, clean and go again. As usual take your time, prepare kit beforehand and you can't go too wrong. I took apart my 2002 fox f80's today, not serviced them in a about 3-4 years expecting oil to come out black (did a fair bit of riding through London with skinny wheels on in the interim, even a 100km charity ride through town) oil came out clean as a whistle. So I just refreshed the oil, cleaned everything up, popped them back on the bike and they run sweet as ever!

Which years?
CTD has had a lot of overhauls in the last few years and has a lot of changes.

120mm on 29r seems to be fine for flex in the 32's wouldn't want them longer. Fox service is easy but should be done on a regular basis.

Not sure what year - they are both heavily discounted on Bikediscount.de to about £250, which sems like a good deal unless I am missing something.
