I've got an Orange sub-5 and the marzocchi bombers on it are shot.

What would be my best option for a replacement pair of forks? I currently have a 9mm QR but new wheels/hubs aren't out of the question, but I would prefer to keep the current ones as they are still in good nick.

Thanks in advance
Dan

Rockshox Sektor if you're on a budget, it shouldn't be too hard to find one with a straight 1-1/8th steerer and 9mm QR. Comes in travels between 130 and 150, don't know what comes on a Sub5 frame though ...

Orange say 125mm travel.

Well depending on the money, a Rockshox Reba in 120 or Sektor in 130 would both be fine, and rather cheap.

Id go for one with a 15mm thru axle and a new hub/front wheel if you have enough money.

The boost in stiffness is really confidence inspring.
