[Closed] Wiggins Chartres 26" - adding suspension forks

[#10325656]

My lad has grown out of his 24" Wiggins Chartres (up for sale soon) which has been awesome for the last 2 years. We are looking at a 26" frame, and already have hydro brakes and 2" tyres to add. But have a set of Radon Air forks I was going to throw on for some bounce. Not your average clunky coil kids fork.

Just wondering if anyone has added suspension forks, also what the crown measurement is on the standard?

Thanks

Check carefully as 24" Wiggins has a 1" headset apparently. That was enough to put me off. If the 26" is the same, good luck!

Maybe a bit pricey at €420 but it's carbon  26 and 1 1/18
