I’ve decide my Pace needs to get used – 2k rc-200 f8. Was kitted out with pace rc-36 forks, but those are pretty dead now and can’t be fixed economically.
According to Pace, the max travel the f8 will take is 90mm, so where should I be looking for replacement forks?
26″ wheel and currently a 9mm qr but happy to change to something else if the fork is right.
Woke up yesterday morning and decided this – can’t post on main forum page and just found the post method on the bike section, so asking now.
Don’t mind second hand but it’ll need a long steerer and be decent quality so I’m not constantly servicing the fork.
Ta.

100mm forks will be easier to find

Can you really not just run 100mm?

Fox used to do the float in 90mm (and 100mm). Often under the model f90 or f100 (OEM models). I’d look for those or some 26″ sids.

According to Pace, the extra 10mm will put too much stress on head tube and snap it off.

Sids were just cooled down strands of spaghetti, were they not?

Fox would be good but at that age, are they likely to be destroyed inside?

Good suggestions, though, will look out for some as they might be the only options.

Maybe but before I got my cube frame I put a set of 120mm epixons on my carrera frame which came with 80mm as standard… It was fine but I don’t really do extreme riding.

Up until 2015 MY you could internally adjust 32 Floats.
2013-2015 by 10mm increments with clip on parts.
Prior to 2013 was by moving a pin inside I think but 20mm increments (80/100/120)

Given that the A2C on “100mm” forks would vary across manufacturers and models, I suspect they’re being a bit too cautious. Assuming 20% sag, you’re looking at only 8mm difference between a 90mm and 100mm fork anyway.

what was the A-C on the RC36? IIRC they were quite short forks compared to the forks around the Fox F90 age.
I’d be more inclined to try to find a set of rockshox REBA dual air and space them down to 80mm.

what was the A-C on the RC36

455mm apparently

SIDs at 80mm would, indeed, be a close match

Can you reduce travel in SIDs? From qqtmm down?

110mm, not 115!

I have some fox f100 £65 posted. Hardly been used came of giant anthem x. 1″/8th steerer

Robido if OP isn’t interested I would be.

What steerer length please?

Sv. Yours if you want them. Where you based

@robido pm’d you.

These on ebay? Not mine BTW. Had a look for rebas at 80mm (Italy and expensive). Also sids but more expensive

Marzocchi z5’s:

Ta…look good but I’ll need to double check steerer length as I think it is about 190mm…
