Morning guys,
New member here.
Recently got back into cycling having stripped and sold my Cube frame and bought a used Cotic Soul Mk3 frame.
Loving the bike but it really needs longer forks. It currently has some OEM Manitou Minute ltd forks on it which are a bit short really.
I could do with a set of 140mm travel forks that can take my 17 stone heft but finding a set for 26" wheels seems tricky nowadays.
Can anyone advise a decent pair of forks that fit the bill?
I bought a set of Fox forks around 2005 for about £300 but fork prices seem to have really shout up. Similar Fox ones seem well over double that.
Even a 2nd hand set would be good, I'm an ex bike mechanic and have a casual part time business at home repairing bikes so I could rebuild a pair if reqd.
Thanks in advance guys.
