Very quick fork question
I am trying to compare two bikes and the only upgrades between them are a $20 rear derailleur upgrade and the front fork. The upgraded bike is $100 more
----------------------------------
Is this an $80 upgrade? What is the difference between them?
"RockShox Tora 302 w/preload, rebound, lockout, 100mm travel"
vs
"RockShox Tora 302 Solo Air w/positive air pressure, rebound, TurnKey lockout, 100mm travel"

Air will be lighter, and imo easier to get dialed in for your weight. If you are particular about those things then I think it'd be worth it.
