T-Bob Posted June 7, 2019 Posted June 7, 2019 Just wondering if anyone out there knows of a shop that might rent a 29'r fork for a bit. Odd request but I've got a Ribbon coil and I want to see what my Ripmo is like with a 29'r air fork. Alternatively anyone with a Pike / Lyrik / Ribbon DVO air or similar want to have fun with a boost Coil fork for a week or so (light spring at the moment but have the M and the H as well and easy to change). The coil fork is amazing but I wanted to see if an air fork might increase the pop n play of the bike. Me: 160mm MRP coil Fork. Boost with all springs. Bought in March.You: ???
Grease_Monkey Posted June 7, 2019 Posted June 7, 2019 What offset is your fork? I have a 29er Ribbbon air, 160mm, and I am keen to try the coil version, so would be like for like! Only catch is I need the reduced offset version, I have tried the standard offset and it sucks on my Tranny.

I was trying to get the 44 (same for my Ripmo) but came across the 'in betweener' at 46 so figured it was as close as damn-it. I'll ride a DH with my rear locked out and not notice I might not notice that extra 44 - 46 bit. Yours is a 51 then?
