Any recommendations for a fork to replace a pair of Revelation 426 85-130 u turn coil forks as the stanchions have worn and not convinced about the economics of having one replaced. Not too bothered about U turn now and 120mm would do well enough for the sort of riding I do. Been recommended Revelation solo air RCT3 which can have travel reduced or Reba 120 but not sure which model to go for. Dropout can be 9 or 15mm as wheels have Hope hubs. Would even consider something like a Recon if performance is ok. I only weigh 9 1/2 stone so have always preferred coil forks but apparently the newer air forks are very linear.
26" wheels by the way
I would be looking for a Reba and taking the chance to go 15mm while I'm at it.
Modern air forks are really good and if anything you being lighter allows you to tune the fork properly.

I have one of these and it's got pretty good damping, if it's not a lot more than a Reba RL I'd go with that myself.
Rorschach-saw those but they are tapered unfortunately-would have been ideal.
If you're looking for 26" and 1 1/8th the answer is either of these:
I bought a set on auction and think I paid £140 posted. They are brand new and just as described. I ended up selling mine before I used them as I decided to split my 26" HT but the lad I sold them to is very happy. I had some DT's in the past and they were better forks that either the Revelations or Floats I'd had at the time. Vastly underrated and a bargain if you get them for around £150.
They do look tempting-any idea on the warranty situation if they go wrong?
I have a nice set of Revelations in the classifieds if they're any good to you? 20mm bolt-through though, so you would need adapters.
