Ok, this possibly, probably is a stealth ad! Looking for something with a longer 480+ AC....anyone got a Tarn fork for sale?

Budget friendly please so Whiskey isn’t an option

Cheers

RSD do a set at 510 and can take up to 29 x 3.0. They quoted $80 USD for shipping when I emailed them a while back

I've got the ridefarr forks for something I'll be doing in the future. They're a bit hefty but seem nicely finished.

Exotic carbon

I have these in qr version. They do the trick. Didn’t pay £155 for them though!

docrobster, that is the exact fork I am looking at for a project but was put off by the price. Can I ask where you got it cheaper?

FOG, the prices have increased quite a bit over the years. I recently bought an all alloy version for £90 from eBay and can't tell the difference between that an a carbon one I had years ago.

@FOG
I got mine from the carbon cycles shop on Amazon for £114 in January.
Now out of stock in that spec

Thanks all.
Like the ridefarr and also the PD ones. Does anyone think the difference to the dropouts (ridefarr skinnier and PD wider) would make a real world difference for fat tyre fun....or am I just being a tart? 🥧
