Was hoping I could pick the brains of some of you excellent people.

I am looking into either Marzocchi XC500's or Rock Shox Recon 351 U-Turn's. Though have now thrown a spanner in the works as I can get a set of Rock Shox Reba SL's for the same price!

I have just purchased a Club Roost XC4 Enduro Frame and looking for some decent, fairly light but stiff forks for general XC use.

If anyone has any experience on any of these forks, I would love to hear your thoughts. Would also love to hear any other options people may know of for under 200 quid.

Cheers

Haven't tried the 'zocchis but can recommend the Rebas.

Search for REBAs on here - this was covered a month or so ago.

The majority vote was for REBAs. I have a pair and they are great at any price but when you consider how cheap they are (circa £200 for 07 model forks) there is just no other competition.

Cheers guys. Did do a quick search, but didn't find too much, but done another and found just what I was looking for. Have just put my order in for a set of Reba's from Merlins complete with a new Cane Creek Headset too. Looking forward to my delivery now. Just wanna get the new bike built up.

Got RS Pike U-Turn air on my Mojo - superb. RS are very good now and have overcome the bad press from old.
