Just seen the 27.5+ plus thread and it reminded me that I'm looking for a QR 27.5 plus fork that will take a 3.0 front tyre on my Ramin 3+ ... its always been rigid but fancy a bit of bounce as I'm getting older !
Not looking at spending big money as I only use the bike now and then bike packing ... options please
If you can goto a 15mm axle then a 29" pike will take a 3" 27.5 tyre (so revelations should as well). I ran those (21 model ) and a set of manitou machete comps when I had 27.5+. I think you'd be struggling to find any boost fork (for the tyre clearance) that was qr.
As above, QR may be a limiting factor. My old Marin Pine Mountain 1 (think it was 2017 model year) came stock with a Rockshox Recon 27.5+/29er boost fork, and easily cleared the 27.5 x 3.0 Nobby Nics that came with the bike. So boost 29er Rockshox forks are worth looking for.
Cheers for the quick reply's, I did think I may have to look at going thru axle, I'll see if I can find out make of hubs etc , its a 2016 Pinnacle ramin 3+ which has served me well and will do for a few more years to come
In 2018, Fox made a 34 27.5 Plus fork. It had a wider spaced CSU/lower than regular forks..
I ran a 3.0 tire on my Solaris Max with that fork, oodles of clearance.
Gotta be some stock kicking about.
Current 27.5 RS Revelations fit a 3" tyre easily. They are thru axle though.
I got some from Alpkit for £180 earlier in the year.
