Fox 32 float performance on my anthem has some stanchion damage, with oil leakage - from 2021. Could attempt a repair (it's not too bad visually), but could just upgrade. Anyone tried a 100mm fork recently and thought Wow! that's good? Don't want to spend superlight race fork money, so what's a good sweetspot right now?

Hard to look past the F232's that Bike Tart have on discount ATM

Merlin have Fox 32 Rhythms currently reduced to £250 but not sure it would be an upgrade (and probably a fair bit heavier than the performance series that are on it) but they're a good fork and potentially cheaper than a stanchion repair and service on yours if you were to outsource it.

If not I've also been very tempted by those F232's also but very little in the way of reviews, I'm sure they'd be great on performance but I think servicing (if you bother) is a 'send away to a specialist' job rather than a DIY/Local Bike Shop task.

Don't Pace still service DT? They certainly used to.

TF Tuned handle DT suspension servicing and warranty in the UK now. Basic lowers/wiper seal change service is pretty straightforward and do-oable at home but a full damper service will require going to TF.

That's good to know, although maybe not for my wallet! It's been the reason I haven't bought those F232's from Biketart yet for my next hardtail..
