V12man Posted June 27, 2016 Share I've got the older frame - 100 mm recommended, 120 mm max.Doubt you will feel the difference normally - until you have a big hit. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Spez247 Posted July 9, 2016 Share Pulled the trigger and installed a Revelation on the Cotic. Definitely a LOT stiffer than my RS 100mm QR straight steerer model. Only done one run on it, but it is super plush on the downs. Climbing feels the same. I didn't measure the BB height prior, but it looks and feels higher, so no pedal strikes in future.It does seem slightly slower through the tight bends. Quick right and left is no longer as quick, but I suppose this is due to the longer wheelbase. Running the fork @ 130mm. Might have to drop it to 120mm but will give it a chance to settle in.

To satisfy yourself, get a box from your LBS and measure it, or aak the guys abroad to measure the box they have. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

IMO you asking a bit much for a rigid fork, single speed bike. Perhaps a very narrow customer base for this setup. I paid R15k for my Cotic with a Lefty and 2x10 setup a few years back. I guess even that was a bit high. GLWTS. the nerd 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Percyzn Posted August 17, 2016 Share thanks, yes its a narrow customer base, but for the right guy its an awesome bike. I have had superb times on it. Cant compare it to a run of the mill bike, that is selling for around R15k. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
