My sons are falling apart, they're a cheap SR fork I seem to remember.
Is there anything better out there?
Cheers
I looked a while back without much success.
Apparently Marzocchi made a 24" specific fork the D street. Even if you could find one second hand, I doubt a kid would be able to compress it.
The other option is to find a low travel 26" (disc) fork with a low axle to crown measurement.
Hi richpips, yeah I seem to remember those too?
Having looked around on the net it seems very unlikely I'll find something so looks like a regular fork is the way to go...
Thanks
I could only find suntour, what is the one genesis put on the core 24?
I think a 26" with a short a-c would be the best bet.
Or a 26" fork and a 26" front wheel, a 46er shuld work, 69ers do.
haha! I had actually thought briefly about a 46er.
I'm thinking of getting a cheap (when I say cheap I mean peanuts - I'm skint!) old but decent at the time fork and cutting down the internals...
I just put a standard 26" Recon on my sons, worked fine with a 24" wheel.
If you're tech savvy you can do wonderful things with shiver sc's inc making them triple clamp for 20"
aha! Now I have an old pair of shiver sc. I could machine up a new crown...
I've got a 888 top crown that'll fit if you triple them if it's any use
What fork do Commencal usr on their 24" wheeled AM bike?
Can you measure the c-c for me please wysiwyg?
Cheers

Gimme a sec. Gotta find a ruler..
Even better. 145mm it seems. http://www.chainreactioncycles.com/Mobile/MobileModels.aspx?ModelID=21851
I fitted a pair of fox 80mm floats to my sons, work spot on,£100 of eBay
Thanks, I'll measure up my old shivers tomorrow

How are managing with brakes when putting 26" forks onto a 24: wheel bike? Are the bikes runnign discs? My sons 24" Hotrock FSR needs a new fork but he is running v brakes so I'm stuck.
The best 24" suspension fork is a RST F1rst air. 1600g (with long steerer) and about £150.
Could remove the dropouts from some Pace forks, lop 25mm off & glue the dropouts back on. 😕
Me...I'd put some Exotic carbon rigids on with a nice big tyre, & comfy grips.
