What mountain bike fork should I get for general free-ride use (140-180mm of travel) under £300?
I have a Cannondale Jekyll 800. I currently have a Headshox Lefty DLR Ti fork. Unfortunately it needs servicing. I have been wanting to get a new fork for a while as I have moved away from XC a bit, and more towards free-ride. I thought that if I have to pay for a service, I may as well buy a new set.
They need to be reasonably cheap as I am also trying to raise £4000 for a trip (I'm only 15) and I would prefer if they had a steerer tube diameter of 1.5 inches, as buying a headtube shrinker would be a hassle. However I'm not THAT fussy. I would like them to have about 150-160mm of plush travel, more isn't a problem but less may be a bit hazy.
Any eBay links would also be very welcome.
Many Thanks.

Great value for money and you will greatly enjoy them 160mm travel and a well known brand nothing else you need.
