DJ84 Posted November 7, 2013 Share Hi DJ84, Cool, we may have the forks today, not sure yet. The AC for the 26" PitchFork is 415mm which is suspension correct so that should be just right for you. Weight I'm pretty sure is in the 600 gram range but I'll weigh them as soon as we have them in hand. Hi kiwi,the for looks good. I will measure tonight and double check the length.I actually use a RST First Platinum Air at them moment that I bought from you a few years back.

Kiwi Posted November 7, 2013 Share oh yes, any idea on price? Hi Flowta, Yeah, we have a price in mind but it will depend on the Rand etc. I should have two new steel frames to play with in December. Trying to be vague here, just in case things take longer than we have been promised/we need to make changes etc etc. I'm super excited about the design, if it rides like it looks...

grumpy Posted November 7, 2013 Share Hi Guys This baffles me, why would one put a rigid fork on a MTB? Rigid forks belongs on road bikes where you don't have to absorb shocks, or is this for gravel riding?not mountain biking Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

shaper Posted November 7, 2013 Share Hi Guys This baffles me, why would one put a rigid fork on a MTB? Rigid forks belongs on road bikes where you don't have to absorb shocks, or is this for gravel riding?not mountain biking lighter front end, easier to manoeuvre and control, improves technical abilities and selecting your line, quicker climbing... more pure mountain biking and a lot more fun when on the front of a single speed Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
D Vader Posted November 7, 2013 Share Hi Guys This baffles me, why would one put a rigid fork on a MTB? Rigid forks belongs on road bikes where you don't have to absorb shocks, or is this for gravel riding?not mountain bikingGrumpy, grumpy, grumpy.These forks absorb a lot more than one would think, they are super light ( usually a kilo less than the best suspension), zero maintenance and you 'learn to ride again and look where you are going. You can ride the most technical terrain on a rigid, only slower down fast and rough descents. These are for Serious mountainbikers . Obviously shocks are very useful in some conditions, but these are amazing too.Give it a go, you'll be pleasantly surprised. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
