leitch

Feelin' a bit rrranty
Item: 29" non-boost XC fork. Fox 32 or 32SC, Rockshox Sid, Suntour Axon (Werx pref), etc etc
Location: Melb, will pay post
Price range/Willing to Pay: Max ~$600 probably
Extra Info: Pref 100mm travel but open to anything in the 80-120 range subject to what's on offer. Must be non-boost 15x100mm. Minimum 170mm steerer (tapered). Doesn't have to be super fancy Factory Kashima Blackbox hoo-hah but pref not a POS.

Definitely needs to be non-boost? I have some 2020 120mm SID Selects in boost, had been running them with non-boost wheel via adapter.

Hey mate could be up for boost with adapter, just marginally more complicated because centrelock hub. Can you PM me some details?

I have some 2016 SID 32mm non boost, steerer is about 163-165mm (need to take them out of the bike to measure properly) so probably too short for you, currently at 100mm but have a 120mm air shaft. One of the triggers on the lockout has snapped but if @RealizE sells me his XFusions I'd be happy to sell these for a lot less than your max price

Probably not a good solution if you have a centrelock hub - can't use a rotor adapter with them. Could space out 10mm one side instead (offset wheel to the left 5mm) but that's not a great idea imo. Ausdb's forks would be the better idea if steerer not too short.

I've just remembered why i'd taken the SIDs off too - bit of play seemingly in the footnuts so was going to investigate, would probably want to check that out before selling them.

Not too much hassle actually (there are CL-6 bolt boost adapters, and I’m using 6 bolt rotors already) but just another thing to buy.

I’d be interested if you investigate the foot nut play - otherwise interested anyway and I can look into it myself, have some RS spares kicking around anyway.

Thanks mate, if you can confirm steerer length they might be a good option!

@leitch my guess was pretty close, the steerer is just 162mm. I'm the second owner but haven't ridden them yet, originally off a Norco.

The release for the lockout was broken when I got them.

Let me know if it will work for you.

Thanks mate, I’ll double check steerer today and see what I can get away with. Haven’t had poploc in forever, can’t remember - do they default to locked or unlocked without the remote attached?

Unlocked.
Default locked would suck.
Agreed, but this is SRAM we're talking about. Honestly surprised it's not a hydraulic remote that requires its own special bleed kit that's identical to the other ones but with a different thread pitch because fuck you.

From memory, the hydraulic ones were locked by default....saw them on local kids bikes, needing a bleed, and were locked.
Yep, I have Sid xx on the Singlespeed. Lever in is unlocked, lever out is locked.

Weird, but then I rarely use it anyway so not a big deal. At least all the oil doesn't leak out the top like on almost all of the older rs lockout systems.
