    Well, that really depends on the type of riding you're doing, doesn't it?

    One has ~2.5" of travel, and the other (RLC 130) has ~4" of travel ...

    One is closer to being tuned for competition, and the other is considered to provide a plush ride ...

    One weighs about 3.5 pounds, and the other is almost a half-pound heavier ...

    Regardless, I suspect that you would probably be happy with EITHER fork unless the steerer on either is cut too short for your frame.

  3. it will fit
    im just gonna use it for:
    1: riding home from school(up the hill... down the hillFAST!)
    2: riding in a dirt filled, empty strip near my house to the park

    Well, if they end up being only $1.00, then I would say that you should buy both ... but, the final bid for both will probably be well over $100US ...

    The RL 100 could easily go for $150-to-$225, and I suspect that the RLC 130 could easily go for $250-to-$400. Both used forks may sell for $100 more for (each!) ...

    Suspension technology is a moving target ... my understanding is that FOX may currently (for this brief moment in time) make both the best suspension forks & rear suspension shock ...

    A year from now (after next season's races), a different fork brand may be considered to have better ride characteristics.

    I hope you have deep pockets!

  5. bascially i want to get them are the following reasons:

    1:anything is better than the crappy ones i have now

    2:the shock dosent wiggle while tapping the front brakes(vbrakes)

    3: looks better than my friends

    4:ajustable
