What's the best 130mm fork for around 350GBP these days? Not too bothered about remote lock outs, travel adjust or other things that can go wrong... It's replacing a borked Vanilla RLC from many years back.

26" wheel, 1 1/8 steerer, old style QR (not maxle or whatever)

Suggestions?

There's an Ex Demo bike DT Swiss EXM 130mm on Chain Reaction that might be worth looking at if it's your cup of tea.

RRP£699 reduced to £329. I run them on my Ti456 and think it's a great fork, light, stiff, responsive.

I picked up QR Revelations RCT3 1 1/8 from Winstanleys that I spaced down to 130. Cost £230 - 2012 was the last year you could get them QR though, so best pick one up quick!

i just picked up a pair of exm 130's for the wife's 5-spot build (qr, 220mm steerer, white) from ebay ... absolutely mint condition... got them for £200.00 posted.

very pleased indeed.

on the basis of just the service intervals, the dt swiss forks have everything else nipped in the bud... dt swiss are cheaper in the long term (i wish my fox rlc's on my yeti could boast that!)
