..... would like it to take a 180 mm disc....
i am looking at this one :
- seller say it takes a 180 disc ... 1 1/8 steers ...
and it is a commuter bike i am building................. no enduro !
My Exotic one from the classfieds. Though having seen the price of the one you linked, you might have to make me an offer 😮
Not full carbon (alu steerer) but have you looked at the Exotic Carbon Fork?
I bought one recently for my Inbred and it's a really nicely made fork. About twice the price of the one in your link though.
Literally nothing beats Niner’s RDOs.
I've been going round the houses looking at carbon disc forks recently for a new bike. I was keen on the Toseek ones, but every single thread I have read about Toseek and other Chinese direct buy forks, on every forum, had photos from someone who had one that had either broken in the middle of the steerer or just above the disc mount on both legs. I'd go for something reputable. I'd spend £5 or so on some Clarks 160mm disc rotors and buy a fork from someone reputable over here, like the Kinesis Tripster or Pinnacle Arkose fork.
As above, I'd be looking at the Exotic one.
I was in a similar position 8 months or so ago, the Chinese ebay ones were £70, the Exotic was £100ish.
In the end I went for the ally Exotic fork (only weighed a little more), as I just didnt trust the Chinese to get it delivered in a reasonable time,if it would be the right size, and had no way of knowing if it would last more than one ride.
How can they make a good quality fork for £43?
180mm disc on a commute? 😮 unless it's off-road, but even then.
Anyways, stw armchair expert-judgement over, I think the perceived wisdom is to stick to known brands for Chinese carbon (sorry I dunno what they are!).
Or exotic or sh.
What wheel size are you using? I've got a near new Pace RC31 I'll be getting rid of soon
