Dont get DJs past 2007. The rebound WILL seize. As for argyle im guessing you mean 2nd hand. Cos otherwise all yourll get for 150 are Xenos

the the rockshox tora coil uturn 85-130. Guy at my lBS runs them on his 6000 dirtjump bike so they gotta be good. there 4.9lbs but very stiff with steel stanches.

EDIT: although they are 200pounds from chainreaction but take a look at them.

1. TORAS ARE SHIT.
2. Try and even find the parts for a 6 grand dirt jump bike. go on. i dare you. fail.

if your on abudget look at some Society Xeno forks, or RST Space Jumps. same fork, work well for the rpice. air preload and 20mm axel.

Actually if you believe that his bike cost 6000. Then toras will probably be fine for what your gonna be doing.

Tora is a recreational cross-country fork, and crown will snap during dirt jumping or skatepark / street riding, and damper will blow up, unless you are VERY smooth or VERY lucky

look at the Argyle, an awesome fork for sure....built for the job Wink

his was 6000usd not 6000pounds. But that also includes sram xx shifters and casset and derailer. as he runs geared at the back. And he is extremely smooth which is why he probaly gets away with them. His bike geared and 2 brakes comes in at 26pounds. He races pro downhill and is quite good on the jumps. And the 6000 is what it would cost to build for someone like you or me but he works at a shop so he gets stuff cheaper.

Look for some second hand Argyles Simon, Got mine for £96 off Ebay Smile and remember you might need a new wheel if you get a 20mm axle.(I think yours is 9mm).
