Hi All,

Looking for advice. I could do with replacing the Pace RC31s on my Merlin. What can folks recommend for a rigid, 420mm-440mm A/C, disc fork? Nowt wrong with them but I've had them on the bike for three ish years now and they were used when I got them so I probably ought to replace them. I've asked Pace if they've got any RC31s hidden in the warehouse but not had a reply yet. One option is to get a decent steel set made then fit and forget.

Cheers.

You know carbon doesn't fatigue?

My RC31's are around 12 years old now. I'm only 55kg so they don't have too hard a life.

Vicious Cycles steel forks. I have some on my Soulcraft and they're a little more forgiving than RC31s. Look better too!
Or, Kona project 2s, triple butted from '95-'97 ish; not the modern monstrosities!

Alas, TB P2s are canti/v-brake only. Thanks for the info on Viscious cycles forks

Vicious then! They're disc or canti, but not both.
They really are lovely forks!
