Hi all,

Need some clarification on what fork to upgrade. Thinking of buying a second hand fox float 100mm( which is around 1.5k, i guess) , would that comparable to rock shox sid?

Also, is the fork contributes much weight on the bike? Bcuz my bike feels kinda heavy. I'm running on xtc frame, deore grpset, suntour xcm, and cap ayam handlebar,seatbar and pedals.

So, before upgrading, i would like to know which upgrade is more appropriate. ie: fork upgrade v carbon handle/seatbar.

My usual cycle is uphill and a bit of downhill(on rocky surface mostly).

Your answers is much appreciated smile.gif

Cheers

1.5K?? Haiya...you can get my RLC 120mm la like dat ...heheheh ...but no Kak Shima ...

Like Tim say ...its better if you know the seller ...but most of the time Fox fork are very durable ...hardly any problem...unless it went through a major crash...

Just make sure the QR is compatible with your wheels ....15QR and 20QR can not fit usual QR

Changing Fork and Wheelset will definately improve the bike s weight ....handlebar and seat post is the last thing to do if you want to shed weight ...

Wow great feedbacks guys, appreciate it.

Hmm sounds like a newer Fox would be the suggestion. Altho new sets would cost me bomb. Need some time to save for that.

Interesting suggestion about the wheelset, handle bar and seatpost. I will research more on the wheelset and QR first before continouing to ask more here. Hehe.

Thanks guys. Cheers!
