    WTB: ~4" XC/AM fork

    I was changing my fork seals on my XC bike last week for the first time and found that was a lot easier than I expected. Then, when I thought all of the hard stuff was done I somehow stripped one of the damn brake mounts. Theres not enough metal to tap it and I'm not going to pay to get any work done on a shitty fork. I'm currently running rim brakes and don't really want to switch over to discs. What do you guys have laying around cheap?

    I've got a (yellow) Rock Shox Quadra 21R that is yours for the cost of shipping and dessert. A good dessert. The steer tube is a tick over 7 1/2".
    Don’t race. Leave that to the scorchers.

    I have a brand new, never ridden Manitou Elite that you can have for $50. Steer tube is about 7 1/2", I bought it to get something built up on the cheap and by the time I finally got around to using it, I discovered the steer tube was too short, and it was way too late to return it.

    - does that fork have disc mounts?
    - does your front wheel have disc mounts?

    If so, switch to a front disc. Seriously. Buy this, keep your V-brake lever:

    $35 and a few $ for cable/housing, and you're set.

    Fork does, hub doesn't. If the hub had been set up for a disc I definitely would have went that route. I'm going with Marshal's fork, thanks guys.
