Hello expert peoples!
I am looking to fit a suspension fork to my 1994 Kona Kilhauea and wondered what make, model and travel will be best for XC usage.
I am currently using a set of Project Twos with an aheadset, so the steerer is not the original threaded item. I want to get something to make the front end a little softer as I plan to use the bike for a ride across Northern Spain next year. I used to have a set of the the original Judy XCs (Gold) but moved them on years ago, so assume that Judy XCs, Marzocchi Bomber Z1 or others will be age related and suitable. I don't want any more than 80mm travel as this will compromise the frame geometry.
What suggestions and availability do people have (no rude comments)?
