New to the biking scene. I have just purchased a second hand Specialized StumpJumper 2011 FSR Expert 29 for a great price. I wanted to get an older bike just because I enjoy tinkering with things! I fancied the challenge of learning how to build/maintain bikes.
I am wanting to upgrade the front forks on this bike. the original forks are pretty beat up. The seals look shot and they've got quite a spongey feel. The outside body of the fork is pretty scratched and I can't be bothered trying to respray and tart them up. Can anyone point me in the right direction on looking for a suitable set of forks? Ideally with the exact same specs.
Here's a link to the bike specs; https://www.specialized.com/us/en/stumpjumper-fsr-expert-29er/p/23342?color=35968-23342
Thanks!
