I'm looking for a set of longer travel forks to replace my RC39's, ideally a set of RC40/41 as I'm really happy with they way my 39's have performed and I'm a sucker for carbon...
However, they are proving hard to find, so... If I must succumb to non-carbon I'm not sure on what is best... My requirements in order of importance are..
1. Adjustable travel (U-Turn, TALAS)
2. Lockout
3. Weight (light)
4. Strength...
I'm not a heavy rider and there isn't anything too crazy here in Jersey so I'm happy to sacrifice a bit of strength to weight..
The main problem I'm finding is 9mm QR - Don't want to change the front wheel so it has to be a 9mm QR..
Budget - as little as poss but ideally no more than £200 (yes second hand..!)
So, can anyone point me to any recommendations or give me good reasons to change any of my criteria?
Thanks all!
