[Closed] 2018 Fox Rhythm 34 130mm replacement

I currently have this fork on my 2018 Fuel but it has been discovered that the steerer tube is not 100% round. This makes getting the stem and spacers on and off pretty hard and my local mechanic has said this could be the cause of some front end creaking.

I don’t want to spend a huge amount so maybe something used, but other than a direct replacement what other forks are of similar quality? It’s 130mm 29er boost 51mm.

Stock of forks seems limited.

What length steerer are you looking for

I have a set of these, and wouldn’t part with them for something else.

How about a new steerer?

If you're happy with the performance of the forks just get a new steerer tube pressed in. I had one done on some Fox 32's by RSF in Plymouth as it was cheaper than getting different forks due to the current one being too short for a new frame. He did while I was there, took all of 10 minutes and has been perfect since.

Pike select+ is a brilliant fork.

But as above, you may be able to get a new steerer fitted.

Try slick and slide, I think they do it.

RSF can probably fit you a new steerer if there’s nothing else wrong with the fork.

Other than that the obvious choice is a RS Pike.
