Friend looking for a fork

Since I picked up the Norco, I've passed down my old Fuel to a friend and we're doing a bit of a budget upgrade to it. It has an old spring rockshox psylo on there and it's just not a strong enough fork for him. He needs something that will support a 220+ rider.

He's looking for something probably in the sub $150 range with a 1 1/8 straight steer around 9" long. 26" wheel, disc brakes, air preload.

If you have anything that might fit the bill, please let me know and I can pass the info on to him?

Thanks!

I have a couple of old Talas forks. One is a 36 with 20 mm thru axle and 160 travel and the other is a 32 with standard qr and 140 travel. Unfortunately neither of the travel adjustments work and the steer tubes are closer to 7.5".

They'd be pretty cheap though.

He ended up snagging a Bomber off eBay for pretty cheap so he's not looking anymore.

Thanks Smiley
