Where is the best dealer to get RS forks? and by best i mean cheapest    , i really like the look of the 2010 coil totems but they are a bit expensive  would rather keep to around the 600 mark.

Looking around for the best price is completely understandable and there is nowt wrong with it. But.....

RS are great forks. They're feature packed, and comparatively cheap compared to, say my fav, Fox. BUT... They ain't the most reliable. Now they're level of reliability is reflected in their price, and nowadays the backup from the importers warranty dept is way better than it used to be, but the weak link will be the dealer.

Now i'm not for one minute saying dealers who discount a lot will not offer good aftersales service, but i am saying you should bear this in mind when deciding where to purchase.

And no, I'm not saying this as a sales pitch, we don't supply Rock Shox forks, so I've no hidden agenda here, but offering a bit of advice based on experience.

I agree with steveb here. I have some 08 Totems which started to leak from the mission control damper. The dealer was making a bit of meal of it and saying that they needed to open them up and check it before sending it to Fishers. Once I got them to send it back, Fishers repaired it and go it back to me in just over a week. The important thing is to check if they are authorised dealers. According to SRAM website, fudgescyclestore aren't.

I was going to suggest that Merlin quite often have good deals on RS. Thats where I got my SID's from and Electrogirrl and a few others on here got Rebas and stuff from, but Steve has a point and Merlin are not covering themselves in glory at mo with refering Commie customers back to deal with Madison direct now they no longer stock the brand

Yep,thanks for that guys, but at the end of the day im willing to make a slight sacrifice (not willing to deal with a bunch of muppet regardless of how cheap tho) on the service for a saving of over 200bucks tho 

100mph you think descent-gear will get in the totems for 2010, they aint showing them on the site
