the guy has said 60mm of travel but looks to me like the pic shows suspiciously more?

cheers

if it were Judy/Duke would the description of 60mm travek and no adjustment be accurate?
also looks like the V-brake bosses are missing, can i just screw in a spare set i have here-all the same size like?

cheers all...well maybe not tails 😆

Judy J4 - adjustable travel (I think) 80-100mm.

yeah I'm 99% all v brakes bosses are the same size. Out of interest why are you buying such an old pair of forks?

It can't be RS Duke. Duke had it's model name permanently on the lowers [img] [/img]

It looks like a newer Judy lowers with the square-ish brace but they didn't come with black uppers that were on older Judys but not the retro ones (I had older Judy XC 2001 with black uppers).

Love child of this:

and this:

It's either one fork build up from two forks (newer Judy lowers and older Judy uppers) or just some RS stickers put on a Mozo XshoX Zoom kinda thing. I think some RS Judy forks did have the all travel spacers and You were able to set the travel between 63-80-100mm

El cheapo Judy as above. Very heavy and very basic. OK for a pub bike.
