Time to get new forks
I have to either get my Stanchions replaced or buy a new fork.
I believe I will get something new so I have been shopping around and im not finding much to meet my specs.
My bike is a Giant Trance 2011, It needs:
taper steerer
15mm axle
5 inch travel
26 inch wheel
Currently looking at Fox 2015 32 Float 26 120 CTD O/C Evolution $633.00 at TBSM
Looking for suggestions for good alternatives but I am liking the FOX with the CTD?
Budget fork wanted
Hi All.
I'm looking out for a cheap fork for a bike that I'm building up with cast offs.
It is a 20" frame so will need to have a long'ish (220) 1-1/8 steerer, 9mm QR and around 100mm of travel.
Anyone thinking about an upgrade and will want to get rid of their old fork?
Mail me
Cheers
Tony
Fox FIT cartridge marks
I pulled apart my Fox 36 TALAS RC2 forks tonight to replace the semi bath oil in the lowers.
I found the below markings on the black section of the FIT cartridge. Is this wear or is this just nothing? I'm assuming it is not wear as the diameter of the black section is a lot smaller than on the silver FIT cartridge so shouldn't rub on anything.
Any ideas? Any need to be concerned? Thanks
help with fork installation
hi all, was hoping someone could help me with some advice...
Fork Boots
A friend of mine keeps going on and on and on and on, etc; about how I should install fork boots to protect my forks from accelerated wear and tear because of dirt getting into the fork seals. He reckons it's now not fashionable to use them but very sensible to get the maximum life out of your forks.
Any opinions on using these and can you still buy them?
