What: XC/Trail fork must be able to cope with 115 kg rider. Preferably 100mm of travel.
Price range/Willing to Pay: Around $500 or whatever I can get for a 03 Skared Super.
Location: Sydney
Extra Info: Just bought a XC bike. Unfortunately I'm too heavy for the 03 Skareb Super forks it came with. Therefore I need to get some forks that are more suitable for my portly weight. Will consider swapping.

A little off topic, but have you tried some firmer springs? Any fork you buy (new or 2nd hand) is usually going to have medium springs.

I can get a firmer ride kit for the Skarebs but even that is only rated for an 85kg rider. If I could keep the Skarebs I would as they are a really nice fork, but @%^!!@#% Manitou assumed that only skinny people like nice forks.

Not sure about the weight issue I'm afraid, but I've been running RockShox Dukes on my XC bike. I've had zero dramas and love them more evertime I ride them.

I'm 90kg and used to treat this bike as a freride/hucker/street bike and it dealt with it nicely.

Hope this was some kind of help.

*Edit: Shit, just realised this was in wanted to buy, not Parts and Accessories......oops :o

I have a pair of 04 RS Psylo Races (coils) - ridden for four hours for a photo shoot, and then put in the garage. Retailsed at $1250.

Perfect condition, as new, includes lock out lever, travel adjustable 80mm - 120mm.

Yours for $550, and I may consider a trade of your Skarebs (if they are in good condition, and the steerer is long enough).
