1st world dilemma - I have just ordered a tallboy aluminium in XL, and need to choose a fork, so the Rotorburn brains trust is required .
Currently have a race bike with a. 120mm Sid on it, so building the TB as slightly more trail orientated, 3 choices I can find
1. Rockshox Revelation RL. 2013 solo air 130mm, 15mm axle. $510 delivered (oem)
2. Revelation RL 2012 dual air 130mm, 20mm axel, $410 - needs a 20mm converter for hope hubs $25
3. Revelation RCT3 2012 dual air 140mm, 20mm axle, $470, needs converter as well.
4. Manitou pro tower 120mm, 15mm $340
The Niner runs 15mm front, so the 20mm option means changing wheels between bikes will be trickier . The dual air options also have adjustable travel between 120 130 and 140, whereas the solo air is what it is.
Suffering from paralysis by analysis........... Help !
