Definitly DO NOT fit triples onto a carrera banshee frame, Ive seen one snap with my own eyes because it had junior t's on.
They are not designed to take them (triples put massive tension forces along the  top of the top tube). The tubing is quite thin in the top tube.
Pretty much any single crowns hould be fine though.

Hehe, i had junior t's on my  carrera banshee  Cheesy (never broke im glad to say)

Jesus, do NOT put 888's on a Banshee.

I've built enough of them up, repaired them and couldn't think of a less suitable fork for the bike.  Nothing longer than 130mm on the standard banshee, and no more than 160mm on the Banshee X.  You might get away with 180 on the X but I wouldn't recommend it.

Triple clamps will put too much force and stress on the headtube, whatever do get, make sure they're single crowns.  36's would be ok on an X and Float's can have the travel reduced so they could be set up to run on a normal Banshee as well.
