Hey all

Has anyone here used Bike24 before?

Have been looking for a new fork for a Specialized Hardrock, found the Rockshox Recon Silver TK on Merlin Cycles for £129.99 but noticed that Bike24 are selling the RockShox XC 32 TK Solo Air for €155 delivered (£123ish).

I assume the solo air is the better of the 2 but am a bit wary of ordering from overseas without knowing the company.

Yep, as with all the non uk based suppliers good fast service at a reasonable price.Had various components off them with no issues.

I'd get the Recon for the extra £5, should have a better chassis even if the damping's the same.

Thanks for the pointer

Still a bit new to all this so had assumed an air fork would be better (or at least lighter).

use bike24 all the time.
www.bike-components.de also have a pretty decent selection and even faster service, but the site is not fully in English.

One more follow up...

As a heavier rider (approx 98kg) would an air fork be better/more adjustable?
