Hi all!
I (stupidly) left my mtb uncovered over winter and the forks are a bit rusty now.
The frame is still good, but the forks need replacing (tbf I’ve been meaning to replace them as they’re not great anyway).
My bike is a 2018 Cube Reaction c62 with (I think) RockShox Recon Silver TK Air (100mm travel) forks, my wheels are 29in.
I want to put these forks on it, but I have no idea on what matters, what I need to measure, how to measure it etc https://shop.ridefox.com/collections/all-forks/products/fox-34-performance-sc-grip
If these forks won’t fit, then any advice on how to figure out which forks will fit is appreciated.
I’m mostly going to be doing downhill trails with some road/gravel stuff to get to the plantations nearby.
I’ve had this bike since 2018, and I’m looking to spend about £700-£800 upgrading it. I like the frame so I want to keep it, but perhaps it’s worth just selling the frame and buying a new hardtail?
Any help is appreciated, thank you!

Why does everyone keep saying “forks” when referring to a single fork.
If the information in the [Cube archive](https://archiv.cube.eu/en/2018/116110) is correct (HEADST : FSA Orbit I-t, Integrated, Top 1 1/8″, Bottom 1 1/2″), then the Fox 34sc will fit.
To double check, you can remove your stem, slide the fork down and make sure the bottom of the steer tube is tapered. If it is tapered, you are good. If it is straight, you will either need a new headset or it won’t work, depending on the bike’s head tube.
