Buy and Sell - Public / Wanted: Fork, 100mm Travel.

« Last post by Roest Whittle on 30, March, 2021, 10:30:26 AM »

Hey,


I'm looking to get may hands on an XC style fork: 29er,  100mm travel, tapered steerer, 15 x 110mm Boost spacing, 44mm offset.


If any ones has anything laying about that they want to off load let me know.


A Fox 32 would be nice, but I'd consider anything that's in good working order and a deaccent spec, no boat anchors please




Cheers,
Rob.

Check the Buy and Sell MTB Ireland and NI pages on Facebook.


Maybe the Pinkbike buy and sell page. You might get something there either.

Anyone selling fork as above?
Pike, Lyrik or similar.


Ideally 15x100 non-boost but will consider a boost as well.

It's a great excuse to upgrade to a new bike


however, if it helps, I have the DT Swiss M1650 spline in mine and the freehub came with the rachet system, it works pretty well although the freehub gets scarred with the use, it seems to be normal wear and tear... I think the XD type may be more durable and compatible with 1/12s as DaveS said.
I serviced mine last summer and didn't bother using special grease, the industry also recommends Slick Honey, but I went with a light nano oil that I use for precise mechanical parts of my work toolbox, it's light reduces friction and increases mobility improving the engagement of the rachets and does not thickens in cold weather, to be honest, I think that any seeing machine oil would to a good job. Most of the time these products (lubs) are produced for other purposes and relabeled for the bike industry and the price tag is double and tripled.


Good luck with whatever set you go, I'm sure it will put a smile on your face

Sorry to hear about the injury Pawel, I hope is not too serious.
Trying to stay as active as you can definitely helps, legs exercise from the ultimate work out from James Wilson may be also a motivation, long walks, healthy diet, and meditation to stay positive and you will be back before you know it, riding a turbo trainer may be an option too but if it’s going to worsen your injury leave it out.

Speedy recovery man

Cheers. A bit pricier than I expected, but I'll consider it.

Defo quite expensive for what it is. The good thing you can always use it on other wheels or sell when no longer needed

I always find that it does not take that long to get back to the level of fitness for spins. I think it has something to with that in your head you know you have done it before.
