dual crown for questions and recomedations?

[redheat86]

I have been looking to upgrade from my current marzocchi drop off comp fork since i bottom it out pretty easily when i dirt jump or even street ride..

can anyone recomend a decent tripple crown fork that would work well with street riding,DH and dirt jumping? i dont wana spend over 350-500 if possible.. and also do all or most tripple crown forks use a 20mm through axle or can i stick with my 9mm or whatever standard quickrelease?

last question.if i need to get a 20mm hub can you suggest one for me.

this is for a kona stuff and soon to be kona stinky

thanks
Ben

First off, if you are FR, DJ, Urban riding you should be on a 20mm through axle, it is the safest and best thing to a keep a fork stiff on that end, second you may not want a DC fork. You may like some thing like the Z150...myself I run 888 on the bike that I do everything with. for your price range tack on a another 50 bucks shop around and get rid of the fork you have now, and get a sherman DC, super t, or jrt. If you look long enough you'll find one used or on BLOW OUT. especially after interbike when all the new stuff comes out. Hope this helps, post up some pics of your ride!
