Having just ordered a specialized chisel knowing I was not happy with the fork does anyone know what forks will fit?

Is it any 1"1/8 to 1"1/2 tapered boost fork?

All these new "Standards" are doing my nut.

Yes 1” 1/8 to 1” 1/2 tapered. Boost 110 with a 51mm offset.

Is it the Judy fork you are changing?

Yes, hoping to fit a fox 32 boost instead as crc have some good offers at the moment.

For what its worth i had the same thoughts, but the Judy (its a judy Gold on the Chisel but not advertised as such) wasn't actually that bad. I was expecting flex city but i could tell little or no difference between it and the Reba fitted to the Expert, only downside of the Judy is the weight which is just shy of 2kg.

What i did upgrade on my 2018 was the Stout crankset along with the BB which was awful and converted the tyres to tubeless, the rear cassette also weighed a ton so i put a XT one on there that i had lying around.

I'm going to give the fork a year or so service before upgrading.

The bike itself rides very well indeed, enjoy!
