Good question.... I've the Pace RC35's that were on it but they need some work plus I've another slightly newer pair but the elastomers are way gone! :facepalm: Also got hold of a pair of Manitou Magnums but waiting on a threaded steerer for it. So I'm undecided at the mo plus toying with a rigid fork option as well.

I personally like ridged on these but I understand the need for suspension as well. I've always been a fan of the look on the early manitous.

manitou for sure.

I'm pretty much decided on the fork front and going to try the Manitou's.... Just waiting on a threaded steerer for it so should be with me after the weekend.

For now, thought I'd share some pics of the parts that are now starting to accumulate...... Decided to be a little different and being as a lot of builds on here are either on XTR or XT thought I'd like to go down the Deore DX route for a lot of the build especially as it was equipped on my first proper mountain bike










DX rear mech with retro fitted XT short cage....

Great, yes that would be a great help cheers... Though going with the manitou's it would be cool to see a couple of similar options and your Zaskar
