I used to bike a lot, then for years I lived in flatland and was uninspired (what's the point of riding a bike on pavement?). Now I'm back living somewhere less flat with good trails, and I'd like to start again.
I have a hard tail with a Girvin Vector 2 fork that I used to love, but of course by now the elastomers have turned to stone and I haven't been able to locate replacements for years. I can still get the upgrade non-elastomer shocks from later models, but they are quite expensive and the fork itself doesn't work as well as it used to.
So what's a good cross country fork that tracks well? I originally chose the Girvin over a RS Judy (the first ones were just out at the time) because the Judy just seemed sloppy. And the cartridges kept failing on everyone that had one. I'm sure shocks have gotten better in the many years since the last time I was looking.
