Basically my DJ2 only moves down about an inch so I need new forks.

Should I get some Society Xeno's? I can get them from this guy on here for £80 and then I can spend the rest of my money on other parts.

Or should I get some Argyle 318's? I could get these for about £150 but then would need a new front hub and have it fitted which will cost about £50 as well....

Thanks
Anthony

its worth upgrading to a through axel.

you can get adapters so you can run a through axle with the society's

go for some old fox talas 32's that way you can choose between 100mm-120mm-140mm travel so can change from park and street bike, to XC to AM/FR when ever you like.

Trail fork for abusive riding. Not a good idea.

No, they're meant for trail riding. There's a reason fox highly suggests against using the fork in any abusive application.
