Any recommendations for a change of fork for my old roadrat, preferably that will take v brakes? Anyone use the Cotic own brand carbon fork?
Thanks in advance.

Interested in this too; I find the standard steel fork quite harsh and I’m considering fitting some cx tyres for a little fun this winter so a bit more compliance would be nice!

I run some specialised fact carbon ones on mine, the zerts make them look a little ugly, but it rides really well. I’m using avid sd7 canti’s and they work a treat.

Specialised had issues with their carbon forks and sent boxes of replacements to their dealers, pop in and see if they have any spares knocking around. Mine are black fading into carbon weave and look great.

I’ve ridden a RoadRat with the original forks – harsh as – and the X with the Cotic carbon fork and the latter was massively more compliant off road and would, I think, make a great upgrade for a Rat compared to the standard Roadhog fork. Not tried any other options, but that’d work.
