FOX Fork advice

[ratbane]

I'm looking to replace the 2009 Rock Shox revelations on my Cannondale RZ4. I fancy the sound of Fox plushness.

The Fox range is confusing to me. So what do the experienced PHers reckon would be the best option. I'm running stadard QR Cross Max, and a non-tapered headtube.

I've got Fox Float 32 in 140 MM with Kashima coating and the Factory FIT with a 15MM QR Skewer, don't know how much they cost as they were an upgrade I paid for on my bike but for me they are amazing!

Had Fox RL 32's on my previous bike and they certainly took more than I thought they would and covered up my many deficiencies!

You won't like the sound of Fox stanchions grinding themselves to death. Nor of the damping guts exploding. Revelations aren't bad at all. Send them to TF for some lurrrve and p' haps some PUSH internals instead. Yummy!

18 stone of me over 2 years of riding at least once a week and covering a few Welsh trail centres and various Scottish ones my Fox 32 RL's were in perfect condition bar a small cable rub about the size of a 5p.

I would also suggest that its not worth the (enormous) cost to upgrade to Fox (32's you'll be wanting).

However, getting your forks sent off to TFT or Loco tuning for some custom setup work and blackbox valving is very, very much worth it.
