Out of interest, why wouldn’t you go 27.5”?

I'm stuck in the past with a mk9 301 and I'm not keen on the half/half thing

The A2C is 10mm more. I run 27.5 forks with 26” wheels on most of my bikes, with zero noticeable difference.

Bump! Will consider 150mm forks too

I've still got my 150mm revs up for grabs, it sounds like you're after something beefier but they might get you rolling?

Thanks mate. If your steerer was 10mm longer I'd of bought it

If it was 10mm longer I might not have put them up for sale!

No problemo, good luck with the hunt

How long needed?

 

[moorey]

@aero165 ? Maybe it’s easier to ask how long yours is, @Plankosaurus ?
If revs are ok, I have an RLT ti in sweet condition, last time I looked.

There's a fox34 Talas doing the rounds on FB. https://www.facebook.com/marketplace/item/150908139078431

You're right Moore.

I need a minimum of 185mm

 

[moorey]

Cool. If tapered revs are of interest, 2012 dual air 150 RLT ti from memory, inbox me to remind me, and I’ll check steerer tonight.
I think they were around 185-190 mark.
Just bought some mattocs on sale from Bike24, they are 27.5, but I run as 26”. I’d serious consider if I was you....even though there only a 12% chance the box they arrive in is intact, and forks not falling out. FU Bike24.

maybe they ship with really good mints that the post office can't resist.

Well, the travel spacers are mints-ing from the box.

Now that sucks.

I have these sitting around waiting for a just in case build

192mm steerer from top of in situ crown race

Top spec X Fusion Vengence currently set to 150mm but will easily adjust to 170 in 10mm (maybe even less) steps

Seen plenty of use and have the marks to show that but nothing more than cosmetic

Actually looking at them now closely there is a scratch on stanchion

I’ve failed you @aero165.

The tapered set have 187mm steerer, but 20mm axle.

The 15mm are straight steerer, and under 180mm.

I may move on my 26” pikes soon, but steerer too short. Sorry.
