Chris Borneo Posted February 27, 2012 Report Share Posted February 27, 2012 Currently running DMR OW forks on my Rocket but at 435mm axle to crown the front end is a bit on the high/slack side. Put a set of Kona P2s on the other day which were 395mm a-c and the bottom bracket was way too low so I'm looking for something around 415mm. Black Market Tech 9 would be ideal but don't have a disc mount. Anyone know of an alternative? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
craigjames Posted February 27, 2012 Report Share Posted February 27, 2012 Gusseet Jury SLs come out at 403mm Most older rigid forks were 395 or suspension corrected 435ish. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Chris Borneo Posted February 27, 2012 Author Report Share Posted February 27, 2012 Gusseet Jury SLs come out at 403mm Most older rigid forks were 395 or suspension corrected 435ish. Yeah, had a pair of these when I was riding years ago but only because I couldn't get P2s at the time. Never really liked the design and I think they'd be too low. http://www.burkescycles.co.nz/prod/e385/fk0001.html Need a disc tab otherwise I'd go for the tech 9s. Also just to be picky, I'd prefer straight fork legs. Cheers though guys. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Luke Rainbird Posted February 27, 2012 Report Share Posted February 27, 2012 Steel = get the forks you want and weld some mounts on. Sorted 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chris Borneo Posted February 27, 2012 Author Report Share Posted February 27, 2012 I'm starting to think that may be the answer. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
isitafox Posted February 28, 2012 Report Share Posted February 28, 2012 Do they have to be steel? Inspired Element forks are disc and 410mm Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cap Posted February 28, 2012 Report Share Posted February 28, 2012 have you checked the NS Bikes range? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
trials hoe Posted February 28, 2012 Report Share Posted February 28, 2012 my Aprebic 'super-light urban' measures 415 and is disc too, curved legs though. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ZeroMatt Posted February 28, 2012 Report Share Posted February 28, 2012 On-One do a pretty beefy set at 420mm, relatively cheap aswell. Very few ~415mm steel forks about as that's 80mm corrected so it's mostly carbon xc stuff. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chris Borneo Posted February 28, 2012 Author Report Share Posted February 28, 2012 Yeah, gotta be steel. Wouldn't feel confident riding aluminium forks. Think I'm gonna get the Black Market Tech 9s n get a disc mount welded on. Pretty confident I can make a decent mount and a jig for it. Then just get a mate to weld it up.
