Hello!
Recently I had my Marzocchi Bomber DJ 1 Fork stop working on me due to a broken damper. Tire size 26”. With that being said, I am on the search for a Good Quality Fork for around $200-$400. So far i’ve gotten the Manitou Circus Expert Tapered Fork down on my list! Seeing what else is our there for cheap, but good quality!
Thanks.

That's your best bang for the buck, a Pike is going to be 800 and an 831 (fox) 1200..

I was in the same predicament. If you’re not worried about 2nd hand I recently picked up a set of fox 36 160mm vans with damaged stantions for £120. dropped them by 70mm so the wear is now inside lowers and I’ve got a working dj fork. Can also be done with floats too

What year is the dj1?

The circus expert is a fine fork for the price but why not consider getting your dj1 repaired? If it's a later model, they're pretty good. If it's between 08 and 2013 though yeah I'd probably get rid of it!

This is a good idea, I've ran sub £200 fox 36 floats from the buysell on my bikes for over 5 years until recently getting a pike DJ. Get a 2012 model, they're easy as toasting bread to lower to 100mm and they're strong as hell and look bitchin'
