Help help help!! Desperate for some forks....

LikeClockwork · Dec 19, 2016

Please if anyone can help and get in the post before Christmas to arrive before or just after.....

To finish the hack bike budget project, I need straight blade rigid (440mm axle to crown) or 100-120mm travel suspension forks, 1 1/8" ahead, minimum 180mm steerer, and as cheap as poss or swap for little bits I have left.

But an absolute MUST is V brake mounts, I can't afford to go down the route of discs with this. Have missed out big time on a couple of bargains on here while I dithered...... :facepalm:

Thanks, Kaz

Re:

Have a couple of newer rock shox if interested, one is dart the other pilot I think. Both are in the region of 10 years old I think. Both are cosmetically ok but not great, both are functional but not great, ideal for a tinkerer. Both are surplus and therefore cheap.
Both are black, 1+1/8th ahead and around the 100mm travel give or take.

Shout if interested I will see if I have any pics.

Re:

Thanks for offers guys, I would go for any of them, but I think all would be a bit too heavy really for the 'XC' style of the rest of the kit.

No chance of rebuilding or riding the bike now for another few weeks, so I'll hold out for something lighter, and probably rigid, in the new year....

Re:

They would be lovely, and there's lots of similar forks about, but I really don't want to go down the disc route as it means another front wheel, disc, rotor......

Thanks for the offer though, I'll bear it in mind.
