FS: Carbon 29er forks & SLX M665 brakeset

Post by Pyro »

Rigid carbon 29er forks - £55 posted
The old On-One/Bontrager style ones with alu crown and steerer and straight tubular carbon legs.
Came with my newer Scandal 29er frame when I bought it, but are surplus to requirements. In good nick, minor cosmetic dings but nothing significant. I only rode on them twice before I bought Ian B's old Manitous off him.

SLX M665 brakes - £45 posted
Not been used in a good 3 years, but still seem to be working fine, no leaks etc. Hoses were trimmed down to fit my old ETS-X, so not full-length, but should be enough for any 26" bike or smaller 29er (don't have measurements at the mo but can check - were okay briefly on my 17.5" Marlin 29er)

Am interested in the forks. What's the Axle to Crown measurement?
You are in Leeds, yeah? Can pick up or meet if all is good.

Artie - A-C is 470mm, yup, I'm in Leeds. Waiting on a response from the 'first dibs' but if he's a no I'll give you a shout.
Ray - Do you mean the hose lengths? I'll measure up, but you'll be 3rd in the queue if you're interested.

Forks sold pending collection to Artie.

Ray, I'll measure hoses up tonight if you're still interested - first dibs dropped out and second isn't responding!
