Anyone know if the rigid fork of orange rx9
Will fit the orange clockwork 29er??
I'm looking to get a rigid fork for my basic model clockwork
Or anyone know of a rigid fork that'll fit it??
Don't forget the frame is designed for a 100mm travel fork too.
Just give them a ring in the morning and ask.
Didn't think you could contact orange
Dealers only? Will check the website now.
It won't be used on trails only to commute on
Ill be fire roads and woodland I know it might **** up the geometry
But not that bothered as ill never be used on the trials
Here's the link.. [url= http://www.orangebikes.co.uk/contact/ ]Phone number[/url]
I have called them a few times for advice, got my bike direct, they are really good.. (I'm local though so put a yorkshire accent on!!)
I know it might **** up the geometry
There's no might about it. It [b]will[/b] bugger up the geometry; how does a 76 deg head angle and 100mm BB drop grab you?
Any reason why not a 490mm MRP Rock Solid or something?
Would the on one monocoque carbon fork work?
Rx9 fork wouldn't fit. The tyre clearance would be piss poor. I bought [url=http:// http://singletrackworld.com/forum/topic/them-there-cheap-chinese-fk-008-29er-carbon-forks ]these[/url] for my clockwork, paid $100 shipped and they've been great without cocking up the geometry.
Quality is spot on, I've also got a set of their cyclocross forks for my rx9, no problems either massive improvement over the stock forks.
Thanks for the info dude
What do I need to look out for when buying a rigid fork ??
That one on no ones site will that work or not?

Check the axle to Crown height and offset. My clockwork was the pro so it had the external lower headset cup. That Chinese carbon fork had a tapered steerer. I'm not sure what the basic clockwork has as the lower cup.
