  • Can you run Rockshox Dart 3 with a Scandal 29er?

    Hopefully getting a 21" Scandal 29er frame from Santa tomorrow.

    Would I be OK running the Dart 3 forks with it? Just found some cheap online…

    Only if they're the 29er version

    You realise that they're really really budget forks and are horrible anyway?

    Agreed; my girlfriend has a pair of thr 26" versions. They are heavy, yet flex terribly. The 'lockout' and 'preload' adjusters seem to do nothing. They barely move, so I can't comment on how well the rebound is damped but I assume it's probably not great. I can't image the 29" version would be any better, maybe even more flexy as longer?

    For the money I would rather have a nice rigid fork. Or a naff rigid fork. Or run around carrying my bike in one hand and front wheel in the other.

    Go to a shop and squidge a few pairs and see what you think before parting with any cash…

    Rebas, not Darts! Although not cheap, I've seen a few online shops selling Reba29s for ~£300.

    Even rebas are flexy unless you get the 20mm version. Save up for them or get the onone carbon fork
