Spez247 Posted November 4, 2015 Share Howzit Hubbers Looking for a rigid fork, for my Cotic Simple. Any suggestions? I like the carbon look, even though its a green steel/chromo bike. Also not looking to break the bank, as it is a trial. Will be removing the Sid to try out a full rigid... Thanks in advance. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Taki Posted November 4, 2015 Share whats going on with your headtube? The for is actually a 26" fork. I lost a bit of the frame's geometry so I made a spacer out of vesconite to get the lost 5cm back. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Taki Posted November 4, 2015 Share Two benefits for me:1. Aesthetics. I personally think it looks better with a tensioner more parallel to the ground. Makes for a 'cleaner' look.2. By providing more chain wrap on the sprocket there's an increased amount of chain in contact with the sprocket driving the teeth of the gears, reducing the possibility of the chain slipping.Got it Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hairy Posted November 4, 2015 Share There is an alternative brand that makes the ss stuff and can be purchased on e bay, think the brand is choice if I recall. Will try and search tomorrow, worst case scenario Friday for their info. Also looking for a free hub body Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RocknRolla Posted November 4, 2015 Share I will vouch for the Pitchfork from Rapide. Very capable fork for little money. Couple of bikehubbers will tell the same story. Percyzn and dirtrider 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
