I need some new forks for my Kona Four Deluxe. It has Rockshox Recon SL Air forks on it at the moment, which were good, but they're dead now!

My bike gets used for cycling to work 99% of the time, however I do like to use it off road every now and then, so I'd like something that's not extortionate, but will do for the odd bit of mountain biking. I was hoping to spend not much more than £100. Should this be enough, or should I up the budget, and any recommendations?

I have some basic Rebas and can back the earlier poster on them being very good forks. I have the SL versions which I cannot fault one bit.

I bought some Reba RL's from bike-discount.de a few months back, very light and a nice ride. do have to pump them up about once a fortnight but other than that can't fault them. About 240 quid IIRC at the time. nearly a kilo lighter than the Bombers they replaced!

Rebas are a fair bit more money than I wanted to spend if I'm honest. Does anyone have any experience with some cheaper forks like Rockhox XC30s? You can get them for £111 on Chain Reaction Cycles.
