Pace RC31 carcon /magnesium forks with V brake adaptor, 440

[tenbikes]

Steerer 202mm, suspension corrected 440mm length complete with the V brake adaptos (removeable, or turn round for behind the leg fitting)

No star nut fitted 'cos I used a Hope Head Doctor, but I will supply a new star nut.

Used on my single speed commuting bike, but I have just built a Rig 29er single speed so these forks won't work for me.

£95 complete, plus postage, your choice of service, but I'd recommend Special Delivery for the signature and insurance.

dibs pls. ta!

flatfix seems to have dropped off the other side of the world so I guess these are still up for grabs..................

if we were to compare them with SIDs suspended forks, they would be the equivalent of a 65 or 80 mm suspension fork ? I am a layman in suspended forks but wonder about the change of geometry as I have got oldish frames
these 65 or 80 are actually not the true added length between a rigid and a suspended fork ? right ?

I'm no expert either but I guess if you measure your fork length when preloaded (centre drop out to crown race) you would be looking for something similar on a rigid fork,

But I wonder how far out it would have to be before you would notice a difference, and for how long you would notice. Obviously if there is a big difference you are going to feel the change in head angle, but I don't know how many mm = big in this case.

And you might even like the new angle better?

Finally, if it is that critical, then surely even changing a tyre size will affect things? (eg 1.9 cf 2.2 or 2.5)

I dunno, I just fit and ride
