Looking for a fork for a sonder dial currently run rigid.

Any bargains anyone has noticed? Can't spend more than £500, happy to spend less but trying to balance quality Vs price 

Any recommendations gratefully received

Merlin Cycles have some good fork deals at the moment. 

Bikeinn always have lots of Rockshox Deals.

I'd have a look for a nice secondhand Reba, which should be well under £200.

these are a steal for what they are. the grip damper is very good.

they also have the reba for a little less, but it's not the 'current' version, so a bit basic (though OK for most things)

other than that as said, look out for used rebas or sids on ebay, but be aware there are a lot out there with incredibly short steerers.

Those 32s with the Grip damper are a waay, waaay nicer fork than a Motion Control Reba. 

 

FWIW I ordered some 36's from Merlin yesterday afternoon, got another £25 off with my loyalty points, and they were delivered by DPD and on my bike by lunchtime today...

Yeah merlin are superfast delivery. I bought some 38's late Thursday night, again got £25 off with loyalty bonus (£325 ****ing bargain!) went for the standard delivery by DPD and they were delivered on Saturday morning while I was out riding. The wife took delivery and I hadn't told her I'd bought them yet!!

To be fair, shes good and isn't bothered. She says....

Thanks for the info everyone, while trawling through bikeinn I have taken a left field gamble on a suntour axon elite at £210 delivered. From the limited reviews online it seems like it should be way better than my ability needs but we will see!
