Hi I'm new to riding and I just ordered an '08 Gary Fisher Mullet with the understanding that the Marzocchi Dirtjumper 3 fork could be upgraded with larger springs. Turns out they changed that in '07 because they started using a thicker tube. So I'm here to get some recommendations on which forks I should look at. The reason I'm having trouble with the stock fork is I weigh around 350 lbs. I would prefer not to have to go to a rigid fork, so I'm looking for something short of a motocross fork. Any ideas will be greatly appreciated.

If you can afford it I'd go with a Rock Shox Totem.

Well the bike itself was only about $600, so I can't quite justify spending a grand on a front fork. I am however looking in to the Atomlab GI-60 front fork. Anyone here have any feed back on it?

Well for one a Totem would TOTALLY srcrew up your bikes geo. The AL fork is supposed to be really stiff and really hard to bottom, so I say go for it!

what ever you get just go for it man
go hard whether just riding to work, carving up the skate park, bombing deadmans gully, picking up the milk, or epic 4 hour XC missions.

i gurantee in no time spending $600 on a fork will seem perfectly natural
