Review on RockShox Recon Silver Fork Adjustment by Ryan Fitch

Revainrating 5 out of 5

Can't ask for more from a cross country fork

Best value if you're upgrading an old mountain bike. It's limited to older bikes as it has straight handlebars. This fork turned my 90's Judy into a fun and fast one with coil springs. It has adjustable air pressure. Dial with adjustable damping. Lockable for efficient pedaling on flat and smooth surfaces. It makes my Rock Shox Pluto ($600) look cheap. For some installations it is necessary to shorten the stem of the fork. I sell a pipe cutter for $8-$15 at Home Depot. You may need additional 1 1/8" washers. Lubrication may be needed if the headset has loose ball bearings. If unsure of your skills, the bike shop will charge about $50 for installation.
