Weight cautious

Being the fag that I am, am now contemplating between a few forks.
Sr Suntour Axon rm800@TatSeng
RockShox Tora 318 rm680@UncleAbc
Spinner Eagle rm580@UncleSriMuda
Suntour Magnesium rm3xx@UncleSriMuda
Sr Suntour Epicon rm3xx@UncleAbc (dunno if it's true, could have heard wrongly)

And as usual, butt is always itching for the best stuff I can afford, in this case the Axon. Definitely the lightest fork among the above listed, but not the strongest. And only has 100mm of Travel. Wins hands down in terms of weight.

The Tora 318 would be the people's choice. A little heavier, but can withstand more abuse and provides 120mm of Travel.

Epicon is said to be very good, but shortage of stock deems this model a sleeping tiger.

Eagle and Magnesium isn't really something which I hope to get. But still might take Eagle if left with no choice.

On another topic, I weighted the T-bolt today. It is true, it is 14.5kg. :)
