In an effort to make my bike more XC oriented, Nashbar has approved the return of the Black Super Air 120mm. So with that taken care of, Im in the market for a 100mm fork designed for XC.
These are the current candidates:
Marzocchi MX Comp ETA 105mm - $249
RockShox Psylo XC 80-125 Adjustable - $249
RockShox Reba SL Adjustable? - $329
Marzocchi MX Pro ETA 105 - $299
Any suggestions?

Why not add the FOX FRLT or the Talas? Both are great forks.
Of the ones you mentioned I would second the MXPro ETA.

What the heck? They let you return a used fork because you didn't want it anymore? That's pretty sweet. I always thought people complained about Nashbar service. Might be performance though...
But anyways, of those, I would pick the Reba.

Until then, Im taking a week break from the forums.
