The Coil version. Good fork or crap? My Only experience of a Rockshox fork is the Tora SL coil and that weirdly got better with age. Or do i need a fancy Air fork?

Just want something on a budget as i intend to upgrade to a full suss next summer. And the Suntour XCM's are stiffer than someone in a Morgue.

Also after some new wheels for about £200 a pair? light but strong to replace the oe ones on Cannondale SL5 maddux dc03 i think.

I've got one of those on the banger bike. Considering it was less than £100 and it replaced a suntour something or other it's great.

The superstar mavic/switch wheelset on that bike is also similarly good for £220 considering they had a couple of years of abuse everywhere before getting on there.

Fork will be great if you're not too heavy, they can get a bit divey for heavier riders on the standard strength spring.

I've been using a recon gold solo air which I've loved, and I'm now selling if you're interested !
