  • What 29er fork? And where from?

    Morning all

    In the market for some 100mm 29er forks to put on my singular swift.

    I’m running a hope pro 2 hub on the front and I’m told I can covert this to use a bolt thru – is that right?

    What do peeps recommend? Liking the look of the reba range but would like to spend under £300 if possible. Any other models I should consider?

    Any links to good deals would be helpful

    usually a few new or next to new Mav SC32 on ebay for less than £200, works a treat with a 29er conversion on a swift

    Just bought some 100mm Manitou Minutes 20mm Bolt thrus from CRC for £270. Perfect for Hope Pro IIs Stuck them on my Pegasus. Not sure whether they are still available. Worth tracking down though.

    Rocketdog, they look good on there, they running ok? Did you change the oil weight (to 7.5??) + redo the shims to avoid the alleged spiking when you put the 29er spacer in?
    You can get Maverick converters for Pro II hubs, there’s been a few on ebay.

    run fine, only thing i did was add the 29er spacers and top up the stock oil

    Ooh, ooh, I’ve got a pair of 2011 Recon 29er forks in black, 9mm QR, used a bit, but pretty much perfect. I loaned them to a customer who was waiting for some Fox’s to arrive, but the Fox’s turned up a lot quicker than expected.

    £250 if anyone wants them – mail me.

    There’s a Pro2 axle converter (24mm) on ebay atm, I’ve got one, straight swap. Maverick forks are very very good IMHO too.

    And I’m not selling anything… 😉

    It’s a pity those Rebas aren’t available any more stoner, they look perfect.

    £450 for a pair of the 140mm ones.
    quite cheap compared to 26” forks like 36’s and lyrics

    I’ve got QR 100mm Reba RLT’s on my Niner Air 9 and 15mm Fox F29 FIT’s on my Rumblesfish 2, the front of the Rumblefish is way stronger than the Niner, yes the Rumblefish has tapered head but if I were in the same predicament I’d gor for axles and let the fork dictate the wheel choice and not vice versa
