Hello all - haven’t posted on here for a while.. kids etc life etc

And yes I know 26 is dead but hey I still love my soul.

I’ve had lots of adventures on this bike.. and the X Fusion velvet forks (140mm) are slowly dying.

Any suggestions for something to replace ?

Cheers

Preferred axle would possibly help.

Also guessing at 1 1/8 straight steerer?

🙂

Soul 26 is good for 140mm forks.

If it's a tapered steerer, just stick some 650b forks on. I had 130mm pikes on mind 3 and it worked well.

I've been looking for thru axel but always seem to be out of stock. Rockshox 30 Gold has a 1/8th steerer but only QR.

If you're interested I have a pair of 15mm thru axle Fox Float 140s, 1&1/8th steerer cut to 200mm. Not much used, they came off a 2012ish Soul, swapped to 120mm which works better for me.

I'm also open to offers for the Soul.

If you're dead set on 26, because its steel, you could get a tapered headset put on and treat it to a new paint job.

Then you'd have no problem with forks.
