Hello Everyone,

Greetings from Bangladesh.

Recently I bought this Trek 4300 and am seriously thinking about taking cycling as a hobby. This is probably a 2002/2003 model. The in-sync fork that came with it does not work and I am looking for a good replacement. I have a friend in the US who will be able to send me a fork within the $100 -$120 range.

I do not have any idea about what I am dealing with here. Please advise if the RockShox XC28 - Coil 100mm 26-Inch 9mm will be a good fork for my bike.

Best regards,
Ahmed

the rockshox fork is about the same quality as the insync. maybe slightly better but not worth it IMO

The XC 28 replaces the old Dart model, which replaced the Judy T2. They're an oil-damped fork, higher models have adjustable rebound and lockout. They're heavy, but rebuildable, parts are available, and they'll perform reasonably well. The fork you have on there is most likely a simple sprung fork, with plastic bushings, and no oil damping.

Here's a better fork for not much more then you wanted to spend.
