Elvis Posted June 18, 2015 Posted June 18, 2015 Marzocchi 320 LCR Forks - 15mm 2015or Manitou Minute Pro Forks - 15mm 2015or RockShox SID XX Solo Air Forks - 15mm 2015 Which one should I go for. I like the Marzocchi a lot, but I am a bit stressed that you will not get it serviced in SA. The Manitou I had the R7 in the past and it was great! The Sid I know well, as I have one on my bike now that needs replacing. Please some inspiration guys...

I'd also throw in the Reba - stiffer and stronger than the Sid, with exactly the same internals. But of those 3, I'd go RS.
The MTBer Posted June 18, 2015 Posted June 18, 2015 I would go RS, just easier to service. As far as I know there isn't any Marzocchi agents in SA
Captain Fastbastard Mayhem Posted June 18, 2015 Posted June 18, 2015 I would go RS, just easier to service. As far as I know there isn't any Marzocchi agents in SACycle Lab are the agents, but they're not bringing them in. Apparently you can get spares through them, but not too sure how that is working out.
Odinson Posted June 18, 2015 Posted June 18, 2015 What bike is the fork for? I'd rather go with a RS Reba RLT. Not as light as the mentioned forks, but bomb-proof and easy to service.
Captain Fastbastard Mayhem Posted June 18, 2015 Posted June 18, 2015 If it's a 29er, the difference in weight between the Reba RLT and the Sid XX is just 30g.
Odinson Posted June 18, 2015 Posted June 18, 2015 If it's a 29er, the difference in weight between the Reba RLT and the Sid XX is just 30g. The Reba is really the best value for money XC/light trail fork in the RS line-up.
Captain Fastbastard Mayhem Posted June 18, 2015 Posted June 18, 2015 And here's one at a KICK ASS price http://www.merlincycles.com/rockshox-reba-rlt-29er-forks-59416.html EDIT: Shipping with UPS adds GBP 25 to the total, so that's a 120mm Reba RLT 29 with 15mm TA for GBP300. Even with the rondt at 20:1 it's a steal.

banna Posted June 18, 2015 Posted June 18, 2015 I'd also throw in the Reba - stiffer and stronger than the Sid, with exactly the same internals. ....listen to El Capitan....
Captain Fastbastard Mayhem Posted June 18, 2015 Posted June 18, 2015 ....listen to El Capitan....It's still there...
David Marshall Posted June 18, 2015 Posted June 18, 2015 Manitou service parts are available but I would still go for Rock Shox. Marzocchi service by Droo at Stoke Suspension in CT
Captain Fastbastard Mayhem Posted June 18, 2015 Posted June 18, 2015 Manitou service parts are available but I would still go for Rock Shox. Marzocchi service by Droo at Stoke Suspension in CTYep. He does them. Has parts too, but not so sure about the new ones.
the nerd Posted June 18, 2015 Posted June 18, 2015 I have a dual air Reba on my MCR and its pretty sweet, will be getting some tweaks when i get back from Dusi... but its really really good!
