My rebas have given up the gost today and I think it's time to treat myself to new forks after 7 years.
No idea what's out there.
budget 300-400 pounds
120 mm travel.
suggestions ?
cheers
Rebas?
Rebas. Only way to go I think.
Or Sids.
Fox thru-axle, works brilliantly on my Ti. But I'm a Fox fan-girl. 🙄

Good point. I've an F120 Fit 15mm axle on my FS and its ace.
Same as her^^ , I am a Fox fan boy. 😀
Lefty.

Sod the budget, we're worth it. 😀
Merlin often flog off Fox Forks at 50-60% RRP...
after 7 years.
Out of interest, which Ti frame did you have running 120mm forks from 7 yrs ago?
Rigid carbon eXotics. I put a set on my Ti hardtail after the Rebas leaked and I sent them back, when the Rebas came back repaired I realised I hadn't missed them at all so I sold them. The eXotics are much more comfortable than the steel forks we used to use in the 80s and 90s and they are amazingly light.
It's a Pastey Howler ti. Mrs Mugsy has recently increased the travel on the rebas to 120mm.
Ah.
Only asking as until the more recent Ti29ers I didnt know of any that were designed around anything more than a 470mm/480mm ish A-C. Rebas at 120mm are up at 520mm ish I think.
Ive run my old rebas at 120mm in the pyrenees on the Ti29er (470mm design) and it's fine going down hill, but bit silly everywhere else.

I now have it at 460mm ish and it rides brilliantly.
