after a 120-140mm 29er fork.

what's the best out there at the moment?

looking at:
the DT swiss 120mm,
the new magura,
rock shox,
I know minutes were very good any idea what the towers are like?

oh and anyone tried the 'zocchi forks (did marzocchi ever get back to decent reliability or are they still as flakey as chuff?)

cheers me darlings

I might be getting rid of the Rev.
It's currently in Germany getting the creaky crown/ stantion sorted though.
I'll let you know when it returns.

isn't in the 29er rulz that a fork has to be rigid or you're unworthy?

i've been very happy with my minutes, not tried towers. however i can get away with 1 service in 2.5 years, as opposed to every 15 hours...

(comes in handy durng a 24hr race 😉 )

Where you going to be doing this then Taz ?
It sounds quite a show.

I ran a 120mm maxle Reba for a while. It felt like a heck of a lot of travel on a 29er, but this was on an Inbred.

I've got a Sultan with 120mm F&R and that feels like loads of travel.

White Brothers new Groove forks look veeeery interesting.

I've got some of the Marzocchi's and they seem very good for the money. Not got a huge amount of time on them but certainly plush.
