What other options are out there for, suspension corrected 29er carbon forks
For 120-140 ish frames with boost spacing

The selcof ones are out of stock and the whiskey ones are too expensive for me
Anyone know any others, worth looking at?
Cheers

Not used the Maxlight fork personally but heard good things about them.

These might be an option although there a little heavy.

Max lights look good but still a tad on the short side, think I’m looking for 510mm(ish) length.
Likewise xct’s look good but I’m after lightweight and carbon
Cheers

I've some carver popeye's on my fattie that i imported from the US, cost about half a set of whiskey's that are lovely. I'm sure they do a 29r version.

I've got a genesis tarn carbon fork on my on one scandal. You can pick them up for £100 on ebay 2nd hand. A lot of people sold them and went for a suspension fork. Mine fits a 3 inch 29er tyre in. Not sure of the size. I think it's the equivalent of a 120mm suspension fork. Perfect for my scandal.

I have some Selcof carbon forks. Look great and feel nice.

If the Selcof ones come back into stock, they are great. I bought a pair with a Whippet frame a while ago and the bike rides very well.

Have just put some suspension forks on it as they came cheap from Germany but need to go for a propper ride before deciding which forks are to stay on it.

@twonks... well if you decide to keep the suspension forks, I can help you rehome the selcof forks 😉

Possibly not the right thread for that.

So many potential reasons for fork failure. Hope the rider was ok, assuming it isn’t yourself.
