Judy with canti hanger and disc mount?

[d8mok]

I’ve had more sets of Judy SL’s than I care to imagine.

But …. I’ve never been aware of a disc and Canti on the same lower legs?

Decals indicate 98 as do top caps. Bolted crown is 95.

But a disc mount and a hanger???? That’s like 2-3 years apart.

I have a feeling it just you don't see 98s lowers with the canti hanger, normally you see 97 with them in this style with a hanger.

It does no have original sanctions/crown?

99s and the hydrocoil era dropped catni hanger lowers as an option.
97 tabs hadn't come along.

Edit to add sale picture for when the link dies.

Crown wouldn’t have bolts on a 98 for sure. Not on a SL anyway.

I just find it strange to have a hanger and disc tabs as I’ve never seen a pair like it.

Unless they aren’t a SL and maybe a lower end model that’s been painted.

agree, never on SL, and also at this time not for regular Judys any longer.

Indeed, and for what reason?

I'm also a bit puzzled.
The disc mount was introduced by Rockshox just 1998, with a bit of a slightly changed lower casting (a bit higher with more overlap)
At this time the Indy was the only one still available with a canti holder to my knowledge.

1998 still had the full canti option, as I said this was not offered in 1999.
I still think it's because you just don't actually see canti versions of the 1998, so never notice the tabs.
Anyone getting SL would be using V's and now trying out disc's, so other than a few random people nobody had them. Even the XC riders and OEM's would be V's by now.

It provided a crossover option I guess, found it wasn't needed and dropped it.

Deffo legit- it's a one-piece casting. Would have loved those for my Bonty- rare with a 1" steerer

Although I think they could well be repainted/ decaled XCs...

I have one, it came OEM on a Merida Matts robot welded alu frame.
98 I believe. Also have a 98 SID with similar disc mount.
Surely RS made so many forks and went through so many tools, they had many variants.

The bolted crown may be from another fork of course.
The top caps look like that on my 98 (I believe) Judy DH.
