Considering getting a new pair of forks for my Trek Fuel 650b.
Anyone had a recent pair of 120mm DT forks.
I'm n particular I want a fork that is an improvement on the stock Fox fork, plus an easier routine lube change.
Yes 120mm 29 er single shot, lighter stiffer and a more controlled action over the fox it replaced a ctd non fit version.
I never use the climb function, usually in the trail mode for climbing and prefer the descent mode for a lot of varied riding on the flat trail and downhill.
The Fox fork just doesn't feel that smooth and can be a little harsh at times.
I have a pair of the latest OL 120 29er forks and I think they are great. Very plush, stiff and much better than my Fox F32 that I also have. I am probably going to sell my Fox and get another pair of DT's.
Just to add to the above I've got a set of DT 140s and they're noticeable better than equivalent Foxs, plusher and stiffer while being lighter. I got mine from RCZ in Luxembourg (delivery was fast no problems) at a good discount, and they're going even cheaper now: http://www.rczbikeshop.co.uk/uk/dt-swiss-2014-fork-xmm-120-one-piece-mag-27-5-single-shot-axle-15mm-white-fxmmebebfdaw49303s.html
Thanks nixon,
just ordered a pair.
