hey im lookin for a fork under $175 80-100mm travel
is the dart 3 any good??

I for that price you could just about get a tora. I have a Dart 3 and it is just about shot (ridden it for around 3-4 months) and the only time it is plush is when it is over 90 degrees F. I've got a friend with a Tora 302. That is a much better fork for only a bit more.
Edit: Here is one https://www.harborcountrybike.com/Pro...FK6076&click=2
There is a local guy who is selling a brand new Tora 302 take offs for 120$ and I've seen a couple go off of ebay for 150 or so in the last 3 months.

thanks for that info i looked at mtbr but some times the posts are too old to account for anything

Where are you located? Maybe I could send you a link to the guy's advert.

Check your inbox. . .

well, at mtbr.com, the average rating is about 2.6/5

well, that might not be so true though, but it's just a warning...

Do you think the guy selling 302s would ship to KS?

Not sure. I can send you the link if you want.
