Hi
I have a current model Boardman Hyb 8.9 that I use for commuting. Unfortunately I had cable rub on the carbon fork which I didn't see and now I have a very deep groove in the fork near the top, it doesn't look safe to say the least.
What sort of fork will work trying to keep the characteristics and geometry the same. I prefer an aluminium replacement.
I did try Halfords but they could not find one on their system.
Bike geometry is
Stack 651mm
Reach 426mm
Seat tube 540mm
TT Top tube 615mm
HT Head Tube 170mm
FO Fork Offset 43mm
HA Head Angle 73°
SA Seat Angle 73°
CS Chain Stay 425mm
BB Bottom Bracket Drop 65mm
Crank Length 175mm
Stem Length 110mm
Handlebar Width 600mm
Seatpost Length 350mm
Many thanks

Those will fit it. They're still carbon but they don't have the internal routing like the ones that come stock on the Boardman so rub won't be an issue if you route the hose nicely.
Much appreciated gents.
Will take a look at both options.
For some reason the classifieds link didn't work, but it's these forks-
As I say, they will fit the Hyb 8.9. Happy to post them.
Guys thanks for your help.
I managed to find a helpful Halfords employee. He found me a fork for £50.
The fork is from the Hyb 8.6 which is aluminium. The 8.8 and my one the 8.9 models have a carbon fork.
Just in case a tone ever has the same issue.
Part number and related info for the fork ...
