Howdy,

I'm primarily a roadie, and typically only hit the trails a few times a year.. But I want to spend some more time in the woods this winter. I've got a 9 year old steel hard tail that came with a pretty crappy fork (Marzocchi MZ Comp elastomer), and that fork is pretty much crap (heavy, poor dampening, etc) -- my triceps are shattered from taking up the slack after riding an 8 hour mtb race over lots of roots and drops yesterday. But I really like the frame, so I'd rather upgrade the bike than ditch it.

So, I want to get something better.. But it appears that I'm limited without spending a ton of coin because I've only got v-brakes (and my hubs can't handle disc's).

So, does anyone have any suggestions for a semi-decent fork that can handle v-brakes?

Thanks,

Ken
