Rebuilding my old hardtail....looking for 80mm fork
After singlespeeding most of the season last year and getting my knees sore, I'm looking at going back to my old hardtail geared.
Looking to rebuild my old hardtail that I bought when I moved out here. 1996 Easton Aluminum KHS Alite 4000...going way back
I rode this with a Manitou SX-R fork before I mothballed it, but originally had a Rock Shox 21Q R fork on it.
I'm looking for something that'll match the same angles as I used to have with the SX-R, probably no more than 80 mm total travel. Anybody out there have any recommendations or a fork that has been sitting just waiting to be used again.
Thanks

I have a Tora 120 solo air that is in need of servicing. Should be able to add a couple spacers to lower it. $50?

Like I told my last wife, I never drive faster than I can see, besides it's all in the reflexes.
