As above. I have an RS xc32 solo air at the moment which either is plush but is too soft for when I stand and pump or harsh and then doesn't bounce up and down when I pump. I don't have a huge budget so second hand is fine but would like it to be fairly light!! Not a lot I know........

Tried putting more air in the chamber?

Put a post up in the Wanted forum, and check the Classifieds.

strip them, change the oil, regrease and rebuild, before selling - they might just need a service...

Yes the guy I bought them off said they where of a Specialised bike and he had upgraded them along with his wheels, I bought the fork and his wheels they where like new , I've ridden the fork about 5 times, I'm looking to raise some cash towards a new to me 2nd hand frame, I have a 29er Chumba hardtail , but I would like a 120-130mm full suspension 29er.
Oh and yes they are air, with lock out and rebound adjust, veery plush fork.

Thanks I'm looking for a fork that doesn't bob when I stand and pedal. These haven't got any compression damping as such so can you make them plush on small bumps but still resist pedal bob? Thanks

Not really noticed a lot of bob when I stand and pedal , long clmbs I just lock them out, I once had a 150RL for for my Orange 5 bob was aweful, I think alot depends on the factory tune, to me these seem fine, my bike climbs well with them, maybe reviews of the Specialised with give some clue.

this is the bike they came off.
