Bontrager Forks info/reviews

[widowmaker]

I bought a Roberts White Spider a while back with Bontrager Forks. Surgery has stopped me riding it until now, I had been admiring it from afar because I always wanted a Roberts MTB and luckily it came up for sale.

I am looking for info/magazine reviews/tests if anyone has any links to them. Just got me thinking why they were designed the way they were. And what's the difference between the race and comp versions

See pic below - thanks!

He specified a different offset iirc, also made rockshox crowns with a different offset

What is the size of the 4 crown bolts ? I need some for restoring a fork…
They are in an english size, not metric…

I'll try and check over the next few days, when it comes out of storage.

@24pouces the thread size is 5/16 - 18 UNC.
@widowmaker, there is a fair bit of info on these, including the manual, in the Bontrager history section on Mombat.
