"... Both RC40 and 41 are good forks, the 41 being air is a bit lighter and provides a slightly better ride-not as linear as the spring, although it will require a bit more servicing than the RC40.
The later 'LC2' [referring to the Launch Control] forks are better as the stanchions don't fall out of the crowns like the early models!! The big achilles heel of all Pace forks with alloy stanchions is wear to the anodising which is unavoidable but can get to a point where it breaks through to the alloy below and digs a big hole. Expect a bit of £230ish for a rebuild with a new crown/stanchion assy Check the faces of the stanchions just above the seals-notably the disc side front face which is usually where the wear starts. Dont worry about broken dropouts, I can replace them-check the disc mounts for cracks to reduce a price of a potential purchase!! "
