imo go for a 36 float, but meh

Argyle for dj street park etc
Pike if you do dj and want to do more all mountain and a bit of downhill etc. for just dj or street you should get the x-firm spring kit
Dirtjumper or society Xeno if you havent got as much to spend

Only fork is an 08 and up Float 36 rc2 lowered to 100mm or 80mm.
Other wise get 15mm adapters and an 831.
All other forks are a waste I have tried them

Doesn't the 831 not work with adapters but only with true 15mm hubs?

What hub do you have? I converted a hope pro 2, atomlab pimp hub, Hadley hub and Azonic Outlaw they all work fine

No it has been said that the 831 only works with 15mm hubs and that conversion kits don't work

Well it is not true
Hadley has the same hub for qr, 20mm, 15mm so does Hope it is just what conversion kit they or you put in it. Atomlabs works fine and so do the Azonic 15mm adapters

If money isin't a problem either get the fox 32 15mm float if you want real weight savings or the fox 36 float for strength. Or you could try out the new 831.

831 lightest you are going to get
or get a used 08 and up 36 float rc2 and lower it. it is a pound heavier then the 831
