Mule Posted January 23, 2013 Report Share Posted January 23, 2013 Is there a difference between these forks (rigid forks I mean)? as I'm in need of some sturdy forks for MTB and there is more choice if I look at trials forks! I already have air suspension forks i specifically want some rigid too! Regards Stu Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mule Posted January 23, 2013 Author Report Share Posted January 23, 2013 my only assumption is the steerer may be thinner but can find mesurments Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
forteh Posted January 24, 2013 Report Share Posted January 24, 2013 You might find that trials forks will be too short if your frame geometry is designed around longer travel suspension forks. I think theyre typically around 405-410mm from axle to crown, this will drop your front end significantly and potentially really mess up how the bike handles. You can buy long rigid forks designed for modern frames, I couldn't make a recommendation though 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

dezmtber Posted January 24, 2013 Report Share Posted January 24, 2013 Trials forks are generaly 40-50 mm shorter than mtb forks. Have a look at kinesis bikes rigid forks they are good for mtbs Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

poweredbypies Posted January 26, 2013 Report Share Posted January 26, 2013 Depends on what travel forks you have in the frame at the moment. 445mm axle to crown is supposed to corrected for 100mm travel forks. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
