FT feeler: On one carbon forks for something bouncy

[tIB]

Thinking my currently rigid 69er maxlight build might suit me better with a straight 26 set up and suspension front end so entertaining trade offers on these I'd anyone is interested?

Could possibly balance with cash or other bits, in an ideal world I'd find something light, disc only and with black, carbon or even yellow lowers!

1 1/8th Steerer tube length is ~180mm- I'd need the same or greater.

Re:

What didn't you like about the 69er ride as I was thinking of building one myself?

It's my wrist that is the problem rather than the configuration- 3 ops and very little movement! I also picked up a 26" front wheel when replacing the rear so rather than screwing the geometry with a 29" front sus fork (as planned originally if wrist required) may as well make use of the 26.

I can probably throw this wheel in with any trade thinking about it .

Re:

Thanks, but my spare fork is a 29er, plus I have a very old / heavy 26er Bomber which wouldn't suit your build I think.

Cheers and GLWTS
