As title – anybody?

Cheers Lord

Ooooh, very nice

Fondled some there. Probably not quite so feathery as the Niner fork, but certainly very solid!

Bloody hell Lord – how many pics? Some great stuff (like the HT with BB position gearbox) and some dross. But even I got bored.

Definately need a job or lottery win so that I can build a new bike with the X-Lite kit. Rigid geared TD-1 29er. Excellent (in C M Burns voice and tented fingers).

Those would look spectacular on my Charge duster, the decals/colour combos would match perfectly.

Dammit, and I was getting ready to change it for an Endorfin too…

any prices yet? will the ragley ones be as pretty?

No weight or rotor limit on ours 🙂

Any more info on the forks Brant.

Lengths Available?
Cost?

brant, any pics anywhere? are they what twinkdave has on his td 1?

mmm they look nice. Definately want some bolt through.

get to **** with the bolt through infact just the other day i said if they are bolt through im not buying them

if you want a downhill bike buy a downhill bike

apparently they are not the same as the "blackpudding" on daves bike but are of a similar ilk

trail rat, i thought the point of these was that there are many options of how you can run them. IIRC someone (maybe brant) mentioned there would be more than one a-c length and also dropouts so everyones happy without having to use a million different molds.

well we will see.

any word of a release date ?

im building a rigid ragley TD-1 with gears (rohloff) atm 1961bikie

its going to be wikidsweetinnit – be nice to have it finished in time to race at relentless

TR – not to worry, as Tom aid it looks like the 440mm version is QR (4th fork along, red one, is shorter and if you look at the 5th you can see clearer that its a QR dropout)

phew – this computer screen is piss thats my excuse ….

now – are those graphics peal off or are they laquered on ?

do you do a non garish model brant ;)(even less so than the white and black ones i see…..)

They look great. Only question is will they come in purple?

IS mount only? 😕

Meh

sorry – en anglais sil vous plait CFH

Je suis juste un peu ennuyé avec la constante publicité pour Brant et son produits qu'on trouve ici.

There are both QR and bolt through versions. 420, 455 and 470mm lengths I believe. 45mm of offset on the 470 one at least.

Well if you'd hung around long enough to chat… 😉

Not saying they are heavy at all (i'm guessing maybe 750g?) just not uber light like the Niner. They look very very good though.

edit –

Oh oh…I'm a havin' me some of that-470 a-c bolt through mmmmmmmmm.

I was spread a bit thin…

750g? Nah. About 610g apparently.

Colours? There will be some dull as f*ck version, and some spangly versions.

Probably missed it, but when they out, how much etc etc.

Like em

im all in now – dull is good 🙂 610 is even better

although i must say that red pair are growing on me – perhaps i was a touch harsh earlier – shock maybe

Shame ill have a brown leather brooks swallow on – red plus brown is a nogo…..

Holy thread resurrection batman 🙂

Anymore info about these? release date?

Bunp.

Any news?

Andy

I sent Steve Worland a pre-production, approved final sample yesterday.

Just the 9mm version though.

24mm version please for my Mav hubs

Brant – do you have list of the lengths and offsets available?

A 420 version as Sam suggested there maybe?

Hurrrrryyy uuuupppppp!Please.

Brant – still with us??

Any one else remember the old x-lite = under-engineered overly light spangly bits that broke? Please tell me there is no link!

Other than the name, I’m pretty sure this is entirely new people.

Still awaiting these with interest too, I thought (from this thread or an earlier one) that these weren’t the same style of superlight weight limited carbon fork as the Pace RC31, and should be pretty sturdy (for an XC fork).
