Current Projects chat and miscellany

Are you wedded to keeping the crappy old Rock Shox fork? I've got a Marzocchi MXC in good nick which will probably cost less than getting the Rock Shox back into usable condition, and it's a better fork. You can then punt out your knackered Rock Shox to somebody who's doing an obsessive period correct restoration and you'll be quids in.

I'm not sure if I recognise that Rock Shox fork, but it looks around the time of the Mag21 or whatever it was called (ie. pre Indy series). They were shite, leaked water in, and needed to be re-built regularly.

I'd try something better as suggested, but watch that the nominal length of the fork is similar to the original; later fork designs with more travel are sometimes nominally longer. That's why Kona sell Project-2 forks in two different lengths for earlier or later bikes (the latter being longer).
