New member here, finally getting back into mountain biking! A few years back I was pedaling a few nights a week, had just built a “back then” new GT I-Drive XC 2.0 up with DH wheels, full XT build kit etc... A few weeks later I was in a motorcycle accident and badly damaged my right knee, since then I’ve broke my right ankle and rolled my left ankle tearing the ligaments, needless to say, its been a fun ride….
Anyway I’ve been pedaling again for a while, mainly the C&O canal and back roads, anywhere from 20 to 50 miles a day. I bought a new Haro Sanford, which is a flat bar, carbon forked road bike, put some bigger tires on it and have been racking up some miles since. I still have my I-Drive sitting on the rack collecting dust, I got to ride it ONCE before my accident, its practically brand new! I think I’m going to part it out or try to sell it for what ever its worth as Ill never need another dual suspension bike, I cant take the risk of hurting myself again!! I’ve been slowly putting my GT Zaskar LE back together and I want to buy a good light fork but have been out of the mountain bike scene for so long I don’t even know where to begin! What is a middle of the road, light fork? I don’t need more than 100mm of travel, don’t care if its air or coil as long as its light as I’m not going to be riding like I used to, I cant
I looked at the low end Marzocchi 33 lock out to Fox F100’s but really don’t even know where to start! Any input would be greatly appreciated!
