    Anyone know if the rigid fork of orange rx9
    Will fit the orange clockwork 29er??

    I’m looking to get a rigid fork for my basic model clockwork

    Or anyone know of a rigid fork that’ll fit it??

    Don’t forget the frame is designed for a 100mm travel fork too.

    Just give them a ring in the morning and ask.

    Didn’t think you could contact orange

    Dealers only? Will check the website now.

    It won’t be used on trails only to commute on
    Ill be fire roads and woodland I know it might **** up the geometry

    But not that bothered as ill never be used on the trials

    I know it might **** up the geometry

    There’s no might about it. It will bugger up the geometry; how does a 76 deg head angle and 100mm BB drop grab you?

    Any reason why not a 490mm MRP Rock Solid or something?

    Rx9 fork wouldn’t fit. The tyre clearance would be piss poor. I bought these for my clockwork, paid $100 shipped and they’ve been great without cocking up the geometry.

    Quality is spot on, I’ve also got a set of their cyclocross forks for my rx9, no problems either massive improvement over the stock forks.

    Check the axle to Crown height and offset. My clockwork was the pro so it had the external lower headset cup. That Chinese carbon fork had a tapered steerer. I’m not sure what the basic clockwork has as the lower cup.
