Kimikaze Posted December 14, 2022 Share 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. jacokoe 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Quagga Posted December 14, 2022 Share Why can he not use the fork he has? Boostanator will work and it is tapered already? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

A look at the stanchions should answer that question, hence my offer to sort the shock out... 2 minutes ago, Quagga said: Why can he not use the fork he has?

I think he'll need a QR fork - don't think those Sparks have convertible front hubs. Hopefully @Kimikazecan confirm. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
