Info request - 29er suspension Fork 9mm QR
Moderator: Moderator Team
I want to get a new fork as my son and I are wanting to do more MTB riding this year and currently I am riding a full rigid build. I was looking at the Rockshox Reba RL 29er 100mm Remote Lockout Air Fork 9mm QR which seems to be a good deal for the weight and having lock up is nice as well.
Is there anything else that is around the same price that might be lighter or better in performance.
OR
Something much lighter but more expensive. LAUF? but I just have to see if I can convert my front wheel.

i really like the manitou's.
I have ridden a tower pro 26 on my superlight, and now riding the top of the line fox 29'er (Float FIT factory trail adjust kashima... 120. oooofff what a long name it has.). I really like the manitou much better. A much plusher fork.
At the same weight range as the reba you can get the Tower (120) or the marvel.
also... what front hub do you have? maybe it is convertible to 15 TA? it will help the stiffness by quite a bit. DT's, Hope's are easily converted... maybe yours as well?
BTW the marvel comes both in 15mm TA as well as 9mm QR.

seems so - http://www.notubes.com/15mm-Conv-for-ZT ... -P217.aspx
i would put the extra 15$... well worth the stiffness added

Like OrPe said the manitou is a very good fork, i came from the top of the line fox f32 fit ctd trailadjust kashima thing, to a manitou marvel pro. And i like it much better, much better relaibility, better damping and stiffer. I have tried the top forks from both rock shox and fox, but like manitou better!
If the price isn`t the biggest diffrence i would save up for the marvel over the tower since it is a better damper in the marvel.
I would also get the conversion kit to 15mm which also will gain some remarkable stiffness over the 9mm QR
