Decent DJ style forks?

[timmo]

Hi there,
Can anyone suggest decent forks for dirt jumping/urban and that category of riding?

I have been looking at secondhand forks 1-2 years old in the Marzocchi DJ range (as long as they're not QR20).

What (if anything) is in the same kind of range of price and usage from other manufacturers (manitou, rockshox, etc)?

I've currently got a Norco hardtail with a set of Judy TTs (which are crap) as my second bike and am thinking of making it more DJ oriented.

Cheers
Tim

Can you say Marzocchi DJ's!!! Come on....it says it on the fork leg!! Another good one is the Manitou Jumper...80mm of Manitou jumping goodness!! (they do have a 20mm thru tho!) Fox Vanilla R (u don't need lock out and low speed compression for jumping!)....Rockshox might not be a good idea!!

Whats wrong with the QR20 Marzocchi Dj's??

I'd guess it's cos he's got a QR (9mm) front wheel, and doesn't want to have to get a new one to fit the fork...

DJ forks

I strongly suggest sherman firefly , flick, or breaKOUT (by manitou)

they're heaps smooth and have ample adjustments and travel

Nothing, I just don't want to have to layout for a new hub as well.

(Edit: Yeah, like S. said.)
