I have a '94 or '95 Trek 970 MTB. Back in '96, I had the fork
replaced with a Rock Shox Judy FSX. Several years ago the elastomers
wore out and gave me no damping and I had a friend replace them with
the ones I had left over in my kit. Just recently, I noticed that
they've worn out and disintegrated again, but I'm unencumbered by
replacements now. At some point along the line, I also replaced the
original cantilever brakes with XT V-Brakes.
I don't ride on the trails all that often (twice in the past few
years) and lately I've just used it as a commuter, but I still want
the option of doing trail riding. The local store offered me a couple
of options: rigid steel $110 installed, and an inexpensive suspension
one for $170 installed.
Back when I got my Judy, I seem to recall that the cheap ones were
****, is that still the case?
I think I have a threadless steerer, but I don't know if it's 1" or 1
1/8". How can I tell?
I was looking at Nashbar and saw a few things that might be
interesting (Carbon rigid MTB fork?), but I probably don't want to
drop too much money into it....
