£79 posted, 500g.

I asked the seller what stress/safety tests the forks had passed and received the reply “test by European CE” 😆

Decisions, decisions….

well they look just like the ones that are coming into the UK and being sold with various shop logos on for a massive mark up. “What’s you point caller?”

what a-c and offset?

interesting.
O-O are 470mm / 47mm
Niner’s are the same.

I have some Jeff jones run at about 460mm/55mm and they handle very well. I think the combination of longer offset and shorter a-c works very well together.

I have run my Ti29 with 120mm Rebas = 540mm before sag 😯 (about 500-520mm after), but they are better at 80mm, which is 470mm again.

Bump for the morning crowd.

I bought a 29er frame and fork bundle (with the same forks as above) from china in january. I’m impressed with the forks and the frame. The forks are stiff when braking and have stood up to my 15 1/2 stone weight on all sorts of riding over the past 4 months.

Cheers Matt, good feedback 🙂
