Rigid Fork Question

[BFloFoxRider.]

Ok, so im looking for a 465mm Axel to Crown Race rigind fork. The only ones close i has found are 468 and 470mm but are 29'er forks.
Can i use the 29'er fork with 26" wheels, since there is clearance or no? thanks

A rigid Disc Fork, with a 465mm axel to crown race length, that is suspension corrected for 100 mm



Oj, and something that wont break the bank. Hopefully under 100 bucks

IF the axle to crown is the same 29 or 26 doesnt matter especially since you are running 26ers and wont have clearance issues, go carbon

I could tell you, But i would have to killl you
Its still a secret, although i've slipped and told alot of poeple..

Lets just say, its a custom frame made for 100mm travel fork, or a suspension corrected fork with a axel to crown race length of 465mm

And, the sooner the better, the frame should be here tomorrow

If you bought a custom weanie frame you have to build it right, White Ind cranks, king hubs, carbon everything
if your going to be a weanie you cant skimp

I have a disc specific Carbon Pace fork that I'd consider selling. They go for about $250+. I'd sell for less.


I dunno. If you're going for the industrial look, WI is perfect:


If you're looking for sexy, my vote is Middleburn w/Boone:

THe problem is, i bet those cranks, the chainring, and the fork all retail 1000 together. LOL
Looks like this build may take longer than i thought.. i may be looking for deals online forever

The cranks are $220 with the Middleburn chainring. About $180 (?) without the ring. The Boone rings are no longer in production, but you can still find them on ebay and in the classifieds here and at MTBR.com. They retailed for ~$110. Now you can find them for $100-150. The fork retailed for about $250.

Edit: I just checked the price on the Middleburn setup. The prices have increased a little bit since I bought mine. Here's the link to a distributor here in the states: http://mtbtandems.com/

From their site:

Single Speed SPECIAL:
Middleburn RS-7 Crankset w/ Middleburn UNO Chainring & Lockring
$249.00 (Square Taper)
$279.00 (ISIS)
