MTB fork for Development Rider (not freebies😉)

[Kimikaze]

I look after the Development and Community portfolio for the Wine Lands Cycling Club and 1 of our star mountain bikers, Atlehang, snapped his MTB fork at a recent race. The team are pretty good at MacGyvering things, but this goes beyond even MacGyver's skills. And now he is without his bike (healthy escape) over the school holidays 😞

So we are trying to source a replacement fork. He needs a 29er, tapered, non boost fork.

He is trying to sell another fork which doesn't fit his bike (for an ebike) to get funds for his fork. Here's the link to the Marketplace advert:  https://www.facebook.com/marketplace/item/1170681516886841/?mibextid=dXMIcH

He will pay as much as he can towards a fork, hopefully using the funds from selling the above-mentioned one.

Anyone out there who can help in any way? Please connect with me. I can share his details to connect with him too.

I'll club in R500 to the new/replacement/repair of the fork 

Maybe @droo can help out with parts and service, and we can make a collection pot to pay for it

I think that I may have something .

Well, if Robert has some options for you then I'll contribute the R500 to his parts bin

For realsies!? I will gladly take advantage of your fork hoarding problem 😬

@RobertWhitehead I'll chuck in a service. @Kimikaze, bring me the shock as well please. May as well get it done at the same time.

jeepers, keen to know how Atlehang managed to do that! the reba is a strong fork!

Why can he not use the fork he has?

Boostanator will work and it is tapered already?

A look at the stanchions should answer that question, hence my offer to sort the shock out...

Non-convertible QR front hub. You'll need a big hammer to get that 15mm axle through.

Yes, sure, I think this one will be a good fit. Just excuse the background mess, I have too many of everything . Here's the deets of the fork in the kiekies: 27T52219806 - https://www.sram.com/en/service/models/fs-rcns-tk-b1?t=27T52219806 - just not sure why the image shows QR if the fork is TA 

 

Thank you @droo I can always ship it directly to you.

I think he'll need a QR fork - don't think those Sparks have convertible front hubs. Hopefully @Kimikazecan confirm.
