Thinking about a Stanton Sherpa NG but wondering about which forks.
The Stanton website states rigid to 120 but they sell a complete bike with Fox 140s. So which is it?
My hope is to run it singlespeed rigid mostly because of where I live but I want the option to run gears and suspension sometimes or just when I lose the SS bug.
Definitely 140 squish!
Phone and ask them, I've noticed a couple of discrepancies on their website. Best way to make sure.
Spoken to both Josh and Dan of late, seem pretty decent guys.
Built my Sherpa up with 120mm Reba's ,rides great. Lovely bikes, nice people 🙂
120mm here, if I remember correctly it's up to 120mm travel on the forks. But double check with Dan, he's very helpful and usually responds within 24hours..
Did you get any wiser? I'm going for 100mm myself as I hope it will steepen the HA a Little bit.
Dan replied to me yesterday on this topic saying:
I run 120 mm Forks and the bike feels great.
The 140mm bike on their website looks like it's running 650b wheels.
I'd ask Dan tbh.
120mm on my mk1 frame - feels perfect. Super frames.
100mm on my mk1 frame. Love it. Thinking of saving for a ti mk2 so i can go ss rigid.
When building the 2 I had rang Dan and was advised 120mm.
I'm running rigid carbon forks with an ac of 490....well I will when I get it built up!
Is it built up Paul? how does it ride?
I'm running 120 Rebas on my SS Sherpa but still thinking of going for rigid for this time of year.
I had 130 and 120's on mine. My preference went with the 120's.
