My Bizango is ready for a new fork; they can be boost or non boost/ straight steerer or tapered.
Any recommendations for under £300?
My Google-ing has found;

-Manitou Markhors (@ decathlon)
-RS Judy or Recon

Or should i wait a bit/ save up and get some RS Revelations when they are back in stock? These would cost nearly as much as the bike cost me though.

Reba. Often come up new for near that or easy to find secondhand.

How long a steerer do you need, LBS has some sets of Reba removed from a new bikes.

Edit Forget that they've only got 27.5 left.

Just be aware that 130mm Rebas CANNOT be spaced down to 120mm or below, only up to 150mm max.

Been there, done that (I posted up the PSA).

Can't see how that can be correct. Air shafts are just longer/shorter shafts

Yes, the air shafts are different lengths BUT the dimensions are ever so slightly different. I bought a 120mm air shaft and it would not fit (too big).

I really couldn't work it out until I checked on the Rockshox website and it is clear on there that the 130-150 chassis is not compatible with the 80-120mm chassis.

Crazy, but I can only assume that the stanchion legs on the 130mm-150mm are a tiny bit thicker to increase stiffness.

As I say, been there, done that....
