I’m looking at finally adding some squish to my Crave SS which has been mostly rigid its whole life with the goal to swap this fork over to a new hardtail SS build in the sorta near future in the 120mm travel.
I’m a Clyde (220ish lbs) that likes to stand and hammer but relatively smooth and not bash into everything and most of my riding is mostly on rocky tech (ringwood, jungle, mooch, and some trips to Port Jervis) so something stiff and supportive and not weight weenie but also don’t want an anchor if I don’t need it. Uses will range from general trail riding to hopefully more xc and long distance races next year)
My options I’ve narrowed down to:
-Fox 34 Stepcast factory in 120mm travel (I have a 34 rhythm on my stumpy and can get this the cheapest of all options)
-Pike select 120mm (close in price to the 34SC)
-SID in the 35mm stanchion size (seems to kind of be in between the two forks above but damper and air spring too harsh for my weight?)
Thanks for all feedback!
