Charity85 Posted March 16 Share Hey Hubbers Ive been mulling in my head throwing my two bikes together. I have a Momsen R355 (https://momsenbikes.com/2020-archive/r355-one/) and Giant Anthem Advanced 1 27.5 (https://99spokes.com/en/bikes/giant/2016/anthem-advanced-27.5-1), the idea came about after I chucked the Giant Carbon wheelset across to great effect, so now my thoughts are going to the 100mm Fox Factory 32 Fork, would it even be be compatible with the Momsen Frame? Ive been playing around with the idea of riding Sani2C on my gravel, but have been advised not ideal so wondering if I throw the fork across that I might get sort of best of both worlds.

madmarc Posted March 16 Share I'm lost here ! Why would anyone even think of putting suspension fork on a gravel bike ? W Smith 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
guidodg Posted March 16 Share should work OK and putting 2,2 tires on the 27,5" wheels should give you a similar diameter to the 700c wheels with narrower tires your Momsen came with... Charity85 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Why would anyone even think of putting suspension fork on a gravel bike ? depends where you ride...here in Greyton I ride gravel on the roads and then do some singletrack too...lots of fun. Some of the gravel routes are quite rough and the Lefty Oliver Ocho on my Topstone definitely works and is very welcome... Charity85 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
splat Posted March 16 Share Why don't you just keep the fork and wheels on the Anthem and ride that ? (Or am I being too sensible? 🤣) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
