Good Replacement Fork

[Imperfectstorm]

The rebound valve on my Manitou fork broke, after 6 times out & past warranty. I have a soft tail Jamis Dakar XLT 1.0. What is a good replacement fork ? Thanks

Hey there Storm.

I might be a bit late to the game with this reply, but I see that no one else has taken a stab so I'm going to.

I think the Jamis is a just under 5" travel bike front and rear, so you have some options.

Fox makes an F-series fork that's 120mm of travel.

RockShox makes a 120mm travel Reba.

Those are the big two right now. Others include DT Swiss, X-Fusion, Magura, and Marzocchi to name a few. I would avoid Manitou. They aren't the company they used to be.

Thank you for the advice, will you be at the NEMA Fest at Bearbrook ?

I will be there indeed!
