Rond Triple Clamps

[harryhume]

Hi all

I've ended up with a pair of Rond triple clamps, which I've never previously heard of never mind seen.

Info's a bit sketchy about parts and servicing, does anyone know anything about the air models? They're so well made, seems a shame not to get a bit of use out of them.

Alternatively if anyone's desperate to get their hands on them I can provide piccies.

Get some pics up.

They are very rare.

Yes, the Ronds were very nicely made. A lot of machining going on.

Yeah get some pics up

I've got a pair of '99 Rond Magura Quake Air's & they're brilliant & pretty light forks.
I have a Pdf of the manual but there is no mention of triple clamps.

I have 5 HydroPros, but I know the triple clamp only from the mags. I've had many enjoyable miles with the early Ronds.

Back in '94 i got my first Sus forks.....Rond Elasto Pro's.

They were really good considering they were elastomer. i just had to grease them every month or so which wasn't difficult( i used pace grease)

They were beautifully made

Rond Big Egos? Friend had a set on his Orange Mr O BITD. They were lovely and plush and extremely well put together.

Big Ego and Mid Ego look like the pictures below. Big forks with steel stanchions and springs running in seriously oversized uppers. And if that is what you have there, Magura still provide a manual on-line:
