Boing!

what make and model?

You can pick up some cheap sprung forks. All depends on the bike.

Honestly couldn't tell u the make and model as my bike only cost £160, all I can tell u is can't unbolt the inner stanchens because the is no bolt at the bottom of the fork

Take it to a shop

Thanks, any idea of price to have it repaired?

Probably as much as a cheap suspension fork. Take a look at Suntour XCM/XCT's - they are OK for the money.

Definitely not worth it. You can pick up cheap coil forks for trouser change.

It's a bit of a minefield choosing the right one, hence why we asked what sort the old one is.

As you might be aware, suspension forks can cost a fortune.
