Default DH / FR DC SPV

I just came into some money and I have a little over a grand
to spend on a DC fork to replace my 02 Jr T on my Bullit.

I will need at least a new hub because the Jr T has
standard dropouts.

What do you guys recommend for a new front hub? I already
have Tioga DH rims. Should I also replace my rear hub? If I
do replace the rear hub what is the biggest axel I can go
with on a 03 Bullit rear triangle?

I can't decide on a Super T or the Slider Plus. Has anyone
had experience with either? I think SPV will be important
because I am selling my other MTBikes because the Bullit is
so great at being an all around trail bike.

Ideas, opinions?

TIA

Hah! You're outta my league if you're about to spend more
than 3 times what my entire bike cost, just on a fork.

Enjoy.

What's wrong with the Jr T?

Spiking on the compression stroke... I also bought them
for almost nothing used. I will resell them. I got them
to get me past not having enough money to get me what I
want and mainly to learn first hand how to install and
setup DC forks.

I sold another vintage guitar and I always take a small part
of the profit to put into whatever my current hobby is.

Any ideas on my original questions?

You're going to regret doing that...

Jim still talks about his vintage guitars and basses that he
was forced to sell.

Nah I don't think so... I have a couple others. Now I did
sell a 1968 Martin D-18 that I regret selling for sure...
and a 64 P-Base... and a first year Jackson "Randy Rhodes"
flying V....

Also I was not forced to sell, a great deal came along and I
got back over 11 times what I paid for it.

Well It was a 68 Fender Strat and it actually did go to
eleven because the volume started at zero and went to ten!

It had the best neck pickup sound of any strat (and I mean
any... from real 1954 on up) I have ever played and I have
ever heard, in real life (non recording).

I miss it but I also had that guitar for 15 years... I can't
believe how much that thing went up in value... so it was a
good time to sell, and I have more old strats anyway.
