Does your bike have 27.5" or 29" wheels ?

With a through axel or QR skewer ?

is this your bike?

looks like straight steerer with 27.5” wheels. Looks like a quick release wheel mount too.

not that you’re asking, but, I’d recommend selling the bike, add cost of upgrade fork and get another bike 29” wheels and TA etc etc not sure if upgrading your bike will be worth it unless you’re in a breakage situation.

Titan are doing really good bikes at the R12k mark.
