Just how many burly 26" forks are still available at non-stupid prices? Could you mullet it for some 650b options?
Maybe something like a Lyrik, totem, x Fusion vengeance or metric? I want to try something other than a marzocchi for the moment

the stantions are flared out at the bottom from too many harsh bottom outs which is probably what damaged the seals in the first place. did you have a link for the metrics?For the price of a set of seals you could probably get that fork going again. If you dont like it though, fair enough, find something new. Xfusion vengence have a good reputation. If they are anything like the sweeps I own, they will be very reliable. Looks like diymtb still have some metrics available but it might be a bit too much fork for that bike though.
A 27.5 fork would work as well.Just how many burly 26" forks are still available at non-stupid prices? Could you mullet it for some 650b options?
Ok, they sound rooted.the stantions are flared out at the bottom from too many harsh bottom outs which is probably what damaged the seals in the first place. did you have a link for the metrics?

They look good, but probably more than I'm willing to spend at the momentOk, they sound rooted.

He messaged me he’s about to sell some stuff. He’s rarely on here these days. I’ll check on what he had exactly. All I know currently is:If he does want to sell, I'd be interested in having some pictures and prices

You might await a long time. I'm not the mother of him.nice, I await to see pictures and prices

Hopefully longer than 4 months the last one didLook good dude. Let's see how long they last
I've got a 160mm shaft to suit lyrik/yari here. I took it straight out of a new 2017 Lyrik.New fork day!!!

From just a driveway bounce test, they fell amazing. I reckon I’ve knocked about half a kilo off the front end over the 55 too!
They are 150s when I’d prefer a 160, but I’ll sort that out at a later date.
Oh, @moorey, I’m still interested if @dh1 is selling 26inch stuff
If you want to go to 170mm I have an airshaft that I'm about to liberate out of a Yari, would happily swap for your 150 airshaft...New fork day!!!

If he’s not interested in a swap or buy I’d buy it off you.If you want to go to 170mm I have an airshaft that I'm about to liberate out of a Yari, would happily swap for your 150 airshaft...
