Aye, i'm looking for a pair of XC'ish suspension forks for a 17.5" stumpy fsr with a fox Triad. I'm 189lbs (yeh, i eat all the pie's in our house), and the rear end seems to be perfect at 160psi. I have a 100mm SID race fork which i fitted, but even at 160psi, which i think is max right? ...they felt like they were bottoming out too easy. I need something a little more solid that will take a bit more adventurous XC riding. Any advice would be most gratefully appreciated.
Looking for the right forks

Re:
I was thinking Marzocchi or Fox too. I tried a set of DJ2's out (which are coil, open oil and air) thinking they'd be a bit beefier than the SiDs, but was maybe a mistake. There still to stiff (even with low air) ..and they weigh too much really. I'm like friggin Goldilocks. I just want something that's gonna complement the damping qualities of my rear Triad ...which i love
Well My SiDs say for 180lbs+ rider, pressure = 160psi for xc & 140psi for racing, but tbh i dont feel like there particularly suited for my pie habbitsishaw":1rrwaa2x said:
