Very nice! Must be three times the price of the Sintesi frame?

I have no idea hey..he got the sintesi frame at a really good price and I only know this because I ordered the frame and it was a year end special.. but no clue what he paid for fork.

 

I'll ask Maybe he will remember , was a few years ago.

I will probably never ride rigid again due to my wrist injury, but it is what it is.

 

 

 

Many married manne have used that excuse  :w00t:

Have an ss with a rigid carbon fork

Love it so much.

Ride it more than my hardtail with carbon handlebars and correct tyre pressure it's great.

Make for stronger riding .

Once you go rigid you won't go back

And maintenance what maintenance.?

Alittle off topic, but has anyone tried the spank vibrocore bars?

I have a set on my Intense Tracer 29, best bars I've ever owned, noticeable difference in arm pump between my  RF Atlas bars and them after a full run down Peppercorns (SP2) at Hakahana

Dipslick gave me this fork for my SS. Love it

It seems Rapide doesn't have them anymore? Seriously looking at one, my suspension fork is going to give up the ghost soon, no money for a new one (or a rigid one, actually...).

 

Also, I only seem to find through-axle, my wheel is a QR

 

not all rigid forks are created equal. 

 

Please elaborate?

 

Also, steel or carbon? Maybe steel fork with carbon bar?

No rider weight limit on high end carbon forks

Great wheel tracking

My On-One fork is about 8 years old . Send it for a scan (to check for fiber fatigue) last year and it passes the test . Awesome fork . I also got the Rapide fork on the other SS and also very impressed with the performance . This Rapide took a real beating last year and it is a very strong fork thats not to "rigid" . Fat Grips and high volume tyres just complete the package if you go that route .

Where did you get the form scanned?

Maybe that's why I'm such a skilled rider....

All I've ridden for the past 3 years is my SSattachicon.gifIMAG1201.jpg

No front or rear suspension and ss................man you are tough, or dum  :whistling:

Why not through in some square wheels too ?
