[Closed] tapered 29er fork / frame compatibility.....

100mm travel fork compatibility means more like 470mm.

I'm not aware of anything which fits all your other criteria.

edit: just realised they have a tapered HT - On One Scandal's gotta be your best bet.

Can you put a 100mm fork on an On One Scandal 29er or will it screw up the geometry.

Scandal is designed for 80-100mm, i'm running mine with 120mm and angleset and love it.
£299, but could not tell you fork axle to crown length.

chumba hx2 meets all those

...and for a change someone else gets to link it before progressive_si does 😉

I have a Scandal running a Niner fork which is 470mm AtoC and handles brilliantly.

the scandal and chumba are the only two i can think of as well - sorry guys, but the scandal is a little too.... erm, common. The chumba looks good on paper - and to be honest its in my top three at the mo, might have to get around to emailing progressive to get a bit more info.

Ah yes common it is but there is a reason for that...it is damn hard to beat for the coin.

true - tbh every thing i look at leads me back to a singular swift (it was the frame i tried too).

in this kinda way....

Do the Swifts have tapered headtubes now?...please say no the Scandal is only one ride old

Cotic Simple though may be £500 all but a quid?

swifts dont have tapered headtubes - it'd mean saveing a little more for a niner fork or poss using a Hylix.

The Cotic is desgined for 120-140mm forks, not the lower rigids.

I have the Chumba HX2 in Medium ( i am 6') running with 100mm fox F32, standard 1 1/8 steerer with an adapter.

could have maybe stretched to a large as i have ALOT of post out, but the bike handles nice. Keep clipping my heels on the seat/chain stays though.

Get one, its a good talking point as not many around.....

Slightly over budget(you may get it cheaper elsewhere) but this:

For pure VFM, I would get a Scandal though

Nope. More like... [b][i]"Minimum 80mm travel forks or 470mm rigids. Handles great with 100mm sus forks, strong enough for up to 120mm travel."[/i][/b]

But the Cotic Simple is a 26" bike ??

Blinkin heck, how did that slip under the radar!!

now that slipped complety under the radar..... i thought you were talking about the Solaris.

mmmm, now thats a major contender...

horible colour - but you cant have everything i supose.

Contemplating 44mm HT on the next run of Swifts, or maybe tapered... But I'm still not convinced tapered steerer forks will take over as some think they might... How many forks are really available only in tapered? AFAICS only those which are quite AM oriented - for which I'll soon have the Buzzard.

Agree there, Simple yellow would have been nice.

Can you buy a RS 29er fork now with 15/20mm axle that isn't tapered though?

Hi Sam - examples of tapered only carbon forks...

It seems that the only forks in this style you can get with a standard 1&1/8 steerer are niner and Hylix.
