Need some new forks for my old `05 Kona Dawg to replace the worn out Float RLTs.
Liking both of these;

[url= http://www.chainreactioncycles.com/Models.aspx?ModelID=68493 ]DT Swiss. Same length as Floats[/url]
Choices, choices 🙄
What to do ❓ 💡
I have the 150 version of the Swiss and very nice it is. I've also got a Fox float and can't tell much of a difference. Go for it, looks great on a black frame too.
of any use to you...

I have the dts on my Pace - I love 'em. Have no experience of Sektors so can't say how they compare tho...
I have those exact DTs on my 2010 Dawg Supreme. They're cracking. 😀
Whatr are pace like to service. Can you service them yourself or do they have to be sent away?
Cheers Jamie. Probabably going to stick with qr style to save buying a new wheel, got loads of other stuff to replace!!
Maint and servicing of the DT is the only issue as per lipseal ❓
I'd be tempted to wait a bit longer and get a new hub. 15mm (or 20mm) is much stiffer / nicer - it's not a trivial upgrade at all, and if you're splashing out on new forks it's not much extra.
I've heard good things about the DTs - the only issue is the servicing which is a longer intervals but I'm not sure whether it's a home job. There are some videos on the DT website which show the process - decide for yourself whether it's something you can do. Otherwise it's perhaps worth getting the Rockshox which are a doodle to service.
