  • 130mm forks (a2c less than 510mm) with bolt through?

    Probably wanting the impossible here, but trying to find the longest bolt-thru forks (20mm or 15mm) I can run on my Cove Handjob, which means no longer than 510mm axle to crown.

    For a start, I don't know if there are any 130mm forks with bolt through options that aren't a) hideously expensive (i.e. Pace) or unneccessarily burly (i.e. dirt jump forks).

    Alternatives are short a2c 140mm forks, or longer 120mm forks. Currently have F120RL which I'm looking to upgrade with the QR15 lowers, but before I splash the cash, I'm looking for alternatives.

    Do your best internet sleuthing, if you please! 😀

    A Pike (Or Revelation) with a U-Turn? Can be set anywhere between about 95mm and 140mm that way…

    Pikes are 520mm at 140mm travel, so at 130 will be 510mm a/c

    Or go for some bolt through Reba's at 120mm travel, but with 20mm axle will be a good bit stiffer than Fox QR15's.

    The 2010 Rockshox range includes Revelations (Non U-turn can be set at 130mm) Rebas (120mm) and Recons (130mm) with bolt-through, depending on your price range.

    oops forgot I'd posted this up! Thanks for the replies – interesting comment about reducing travel in the Revelations. Had dual air Revelations before and have to say I didn't get on with them. The Rebas might be worth a punt, however.

    Have a look at some Magura Thors, 100-140mm. I love mine

    I think the Manitou Minute in 130mm comes under 510mm.20mm bolt through.Vastly underated fork.There was some good deals on 2008 stock when i last looked.

    Another vote for Thor. Bit of a pain to set up right, but once they're there, fantastic.

    Got a 120mm Reba Team with Maxle on my HJ, and I think it suits it perfectly – better than the 130mm Rev it replaced too.

    Thors are out of my price range, will check out the Manitou though!

    The new one in magnesium is going to be "cheap" too
