What is a decent weight, low maintenance 80-100mm fork for a santacruz super? I go 200lb, intermediate singletrack rider. We are heading out for Alaska and the West coast for 8-10 months and we hit all the backroads and out of the way areas far from bike shops and civilization (wal-mart). I need something reliable so i can be riding and not wrenching. I am leery of the air spring lightweights as many posts talk of monthly maintenance. Any ideas are appreciated

...you can slap a spring in a REBA which would get you a 100mm springy fork. Also, you can snag a Vanilla R for $410 retail (usually less) and have the guts swapped around so it's 100mm instead of 130mm.
Not that I've been looking at this stuff lately or anything.
Marzocchi = dependable, low maintance, sweet ride. Just Ride!
