looking for a new fork to replace a psylo. this'll be going on a ridgeback frame. i'm looking at the vanilla 125 r or a z1 drop off II.
my main concern with the zoke is that it's a good bit heavier than my psylo, and i like the front of my bike being light seeing as how i only weight 145 pounds. it's also a little longer than the psylo, and that'll relax the bike more, which i think i'd like. i'd be buying new.
i like how light the fox is. i really like how light it is. however, i've also heard it's not as reliable as the marzocchi (though either will be a step up from the psylo). it's also 1 cm shorter than the psylo which which is going to make the bike feel twitchier, and since i think my bike could be a bit more stable already, i don't think i like that. i'd be buying used.
both should cost about the same. so...which do i go with?
