DJ3 for Hardrock
I am wondering whether this for will work for the o5 hardrocks sport(by the way i mean the 05 DJ3).
I was also wondering if i should look at any other forks for the same kind of riding but nothing above £250.
thanks for your help

Still kicking.
It's a 110mm fork which makes it just a little over 4", you will be fine with that fork.

Remember, the DJ has no V-brake bosses, so you will have to have disc brakes.

I guess you could go with the D-Street. It has V bosses, but only 80mm travel. Upgrading to discs is definitely worth it.

You will have to get new hubs to accept discs, but it is a better value to buy a machine made wheelset like this one.

Then you could get some Avid BB7 Disc brakes, which can be found for $69 a piece, and they can be used with your levers that you have now.
So figure about $230 to upgrade to discs, then you could get that fork.
