Thoughts? Better than SR Aion? I have a chance to buy one for $120 150mm.
any ever use a 2015 RS sektor gold?

- Start date
low end damper (lowest?) so why not save a bit more $$$ and buy something a bit more worthwhile?
what are you trying to improve over your current fork?
Want my trusted XFusion Vengeance set to 150mm? 
36mm stanchions (IIRC), sealed cartridge damper with HSC/LSC/LSR dials, tapered steerer, 20mm TA, air spring.

Because I'm trying to see how much of a budget i can build this bike with.

“It's unwise to pay too much, but it's worse to pay too little. When you pay too much, you lose a little money - that's all. When you pay too little, you sometimes lose everything, because the thing you bought was incapable of doing the thing it was bought to do. The common law of business balance prohibits paying a little and getting a lot - it can't be done. If you deal with the lowest bidder, it is well to add something for the risk you run, and if you do that you will have enough to pay for something better.”
― John Ruskin
I have one in the garage I believe, like any RS product, if you get one that is made properly it will work fine.
The one I have was smoother than my 2010 MoCo Totem and near new Lyrik a friend gave me to make less shit. I put a Solo Air spring in the Lyrik which made it better but it was still deemed to shit to use so it was replaced with a well used X-Fusion Vengeance coil and my friend was very happy with that.
I think I will go back to X-Fusion forks myself, my Suntour Durolux has ~50 gentle hours on it and the bushings have as much play as my Vengeance did when I threw it out. I wish there was a Metric coil, I'd be all over it!

I can't ask much for that thing, something like $50 + shipping maybe?
Shit, I've got a 2015 Lyrik 26" @170mm (you could easily drop it to whatever you want) with the upgraded Charger damper, tapered steerer*.
Cheeeeeaaaaaap. Like, enough to cover shipping and a good case of beer cheap.
*tapered steerer is a hair over 6" long is the issue...

Is it 27.5? Is there such thing as a 20 to 15mm TA reducer/adapter for it? I found one for Fox.
I need 27.5
It is.
What about TA adapter? Is it teh boooost?
Oh. Dear me. Cue the hand-wringing. Perhaps your bitch ass should have mentioned that. ( yes I get that 27.5 is more or less the de-facto standard but....)
Peeps are trying to help you out with cheap Forks. Don't shit on them.
it's absoluely fine if you just like riding bikes and aren't massively bothered about having 400 RM pages worth of tech talk discussing how the oil to flows from one part to another inside.
feels a lot like an OG PIKE to ride.
Which we all found just fine in 2005 when some of us still rode DH.
John Rushkin had the same bike as me

Is there a 20mm conversion for your hub?
I have to look
While i appreciate it, a cheap fork that doesn't work for the wheels wont do me any good. I didn't mention wheel size in the OP because i was asking opinions about a fork and people started offering.
