I'm on the lookout for some light-lightish 100mm travel, non-tapered, 20mm or QR axle forks to go on a newly aquired Charge Duster. Is there any better fork for the money (£269 at Merlin) at the moment than a Rockshox [url= http://www.merlincycles.com/bike-shop/frame-forks/forks-shocks/rockshox-suspension-forks/rockshox-reba-rl-forks-2013.html ]Reba RL[/url]? The [url= http://www.merlincycles.com/bike-shop/frame-forks/forks-shocks/rockshox-suspension-forks/rockshox-recon-gold-rl-solo-air-forks-poploc-2013.html ]Recon Gold RL[/url] is basically an old Reba and is £30 cheaper.
Any reasons for or against either? Any others worth a look? Don't really want to spend more than £300 but could stretch for an exceptional bargain.
Hard to see past Rockshox for that money. The Recon just has a forged crown rather than a hollow one so will be a bit lighter
I'm thinking for only an extra £30 I should get the Reba but I'm not sure if that's just a bit snobby?
i bought my wife a new (2012) trek lush at the weekend which comes with a pair of recon gold tk 120mm forks. i'm massively impressed with them at first glance.
i was going to put on a pair of fox f-series 32 rlc's which i have in the toolbox but i don't think i'll bother now.
my only criticism is that the topout is a bit 'clunky'... not sure whether that is because they are new, or whether they need some tweaking.
