|   What Fork? | CS
Jun 4, 2002 3:16 PM | | I'm thinking about getting a suspension fork, I'm currently running a rigid.
I ride Freeride, xc, and some downhill looking for something with 100mm of travel. I weigh 190 with all gear. Was looking at getting a bomber.
I don't really want to spend to much and don't want something with a whole lot of maintenance.
Any sugguestions?
Thank You

The Psylo XC would be a good choice, as you can dial in the amount of travel to the millimetre, and the spring rate is adjusted too: though you may need a stiffer spring set up than stock. The fork has adjustable rebound damping, is strong and easy to strip/service, and can also be found for quite cheap if you look around. |

I'll check out the psylo xc
