There was a engineer a while back for Marzocchi (iirc) that cut a fork in half and widened the brace to fit on a fat bike. Cannot for the life of me find it now but his solution was a lot more thought out than that one!
just slightly neater

Who in their right mind is bidding on these?
Epicyclo - how did you get those forks to work? Doesn't look to be too much room between the tyre and fork crown. I'm guessing you ran them locked out?
ha ha
After all this mud slinging it looks as though he's going to get a good price!
Who's laughing now

I seem to remember he had a build thread on here for them. The point was that they didn't work at all. You can see the seatpost clamps that hold the cut down lowers in the one position.

My 26 er bikes have a future - off to the garage to lengthen the chainstays.
Hacksaw. Tick
Ally plate. Tick
Jubilee clips. Tick. ( for added safety)
[i]For the axle hub wich isn't included, distance is about half a cm, it literally can be moved that much to one side, it does not affect or change the look, just has to be a manitou sherman one.

Okay cool no worries then, glad you put my mind at ease.
Sheesh.
I can't belive that there are bids up to £85 on these - I struggled to get there for some mint Shermans a couple of years ago.
As for the execution...Darwin's theory has fallen down here!

I built them to be rigid. It let me experiment with HAs and offsets.
