AdamR28 Posted March 17, 2008 Report Share Posted March 17, 2008 Just fit the forks as normal. I guess anything up to about 80mm would be sufficient! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

liam-pantera Posted March 17, 2008 Author Report Share Posted March 17, 2008 thanks , i dont think i quite frased it right , im after some forks that wont effect the geo , i was wondering if there are any 24 inch specific suspension forks with like 60-80mm travel Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Josh PWND Posted March 17, 2008 Report Share Posted March 17, 2008 Here 24" specific forksbut inspired are built for 26" forks. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AdamR28 Posted March 17, 2008 Report Share Posted March 17, 2008 26" rigid forks are about 400-420 length... so a 24" rigid fork would be around 375-395... add 80mm of travel, take off 1/4 for sag, add that to 375 and you get about 435mm = not much upset at all Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
monkeyseemonkeydo Posted March 17, 2008 Report Share Posted March 17, 2008 Those 24" specific forks are only available with a 20mm bolt through axle unfortunately... I've already looked into them However I expect you can get conversion kits but the front hub will still end up a bit chunky I'd have thought.Does anyone have any info on the 24" forks that Ashton was running on his bike last Summer? They were Rock Shox but I can't find any info on them... or are they just standard 26" forks?Edit: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

monkeyseemonkeydo Posted March 17, 2008 Report Share Posted March 17, 2008 Yeah, but I guess with 26" length and 100mm travel they'd start to screw up the geometry... plus the extra kilo you'd be lifting all the time. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TheMunn Posted March 18, 2008 Report Share Posted March 18, 2008 I'd go for some of the rockshox myself, they are a little flexy but they are really good forks! I think what ashton did is put the travel reduction spacers in the forks to drop the travel, you won't be able to buy them that short. TF tuned will do this for you no problem although they may have to cut the legs to get a real low fork hight... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Revolver Posted March 18, 2008 Report Share Posted March 18, 2008 (edited) if you're going for rockshox, get the pikes, they're well goodadjustble travel - 85 to 130 ishlockoutlight as fook!oh yeah, and the d-streets are poo and heavy and apparently break at the arch says my all-knowing-about-bikes-and-cars friend who turned down a job selling cars at BMW to do a national diploma, and thinks rear wheel drive cars wheel-spin easier despite the fact it means more weight is pressing down on the back and so more grip and less spin...

strat-trials Posted March 18, 2008 Report Share Posted March 18, 2008 Get a set of fox forks and then get them dropped to 40/60mm. Can send the internals off to be changed,should cost around £80. That'd be the best way, that way you can use a q/r hub but you'll still have to use front disk. Would make for a nice light setup too.

Tomm Posted March 18, 2008 Report Share Posted March 18, 2008 Does anyone have any info on the 24" forks that Ashton was running on his bike last Summer? They were Rock Shox but I can't find any info on them... or are they just standard 26" forks?They are definitely Revelations, but they also look like they've had the travel reduced massively (not just to 100mm on the U-turn). They'd be pretty flexy though, Revs aren't the stiffest forks - although taking them down to 80mm travel would probably help a bit. Pikes are kinda the next one up - they're bigger and stiffer (with 20mm maxle) but even the lightest ones (which cost nearly £500) are nearly 5lbs!
