nice rigid ( carbon??) fork to replace a crap sus one.

Post by ton »

got a rockshox judy air fork on my bike, and to be honest, it is a bit rubbish.
very flexy, and even with a lot of air in, it don't suspend my mass very well.

so what good rigid for to replace it with.
was thinking possibly something in carbon, if there is a carbon fork designed to take 133kg.

any ideas greatly appreciated.

Is it boost or non-boost?

I've got a Travers Prong and I've been really impressed with it and it's not had an easy time. I don't know if they still make the non-boost version though.

Just checked and they only do the boost version now, but 2 year guarantee and no weight limit.

I also use prong. Lovely fork.

The boost one can come with a hope non boost adaptor :)
