I've been looking about for a set of forks for a 29er build and really like the Fox forks.

I've had a bit of a look about and can't find any decent prices on the forks apart form some on eBay. The problem with the eBay ones is that they're from Taiwan......

What's the general view, dodgy or not?

You are likely to get stung for import duty on them, so factor in at least another 25% on top of the price,

Did you see these, £562 @ Merlin?

Can't see why they would be dodgy, but as bigdug notes there is the import duty, vat and couriers cut to take into account.

Also what about warranty? if these have any issues, doubt the seller will be interested, and the UK importer has no reason do anything for non UK purchased forks.

If looking to buy a set of these would go for the Merlin ones, you can also you can get cashback via Quidco, Topcashback etc

They look sweet!
Just got to decide now if I can justify the price of them over the price of the RS Reba's or SID's......
