Title: IPlay Carbon 29er fork 15mm?
Post by: Squishee on November 18, 2014, 05:10:54 PM
Has anyone had any experience with these forks? What is the maximum rotor size? Maximum tire width? Durability and sturdiness? Does anyone have the blueprints/geometry? I believe the model number is IP-FK-052 485mm.

Any experience with any no name Chinese 29er carbon fork? Am I looking at death and dismemberment? New teefs? Titanium skull implants? Reconstructive surgery?

I have one.. got about 500 miles on it. I do not anything crazy on the bike.. no jumps.. just XC..

It is stiff and seems more solid than my frame (057)

Does it have room for a large volume tire? 2.4 maybe? I don't do big jumps either, but love rocky and rough descents----basically technical xc stuff. Can you give me your thoughts on the 057? I'm planning to order one soon.

yea i dont see an issue with getting a 2.4 tire in it..

i have a rara 2.25 and it has a ton of room.. it almost looks funny how much room there is.

i like the 057.. I am 6'2" and i am feel i am between frames so it is a bit on the smaller side other than that it is a climber.. turns fast.. and stiff (i got the 142x12 rear axle and a 15mm front axle) I am not running tubeless but run about 33psi in it.

there is a picture of a fork with a tire in it(not sure of the fork model)....but it looks like it would work for fat bike nearly...I'll see if I can find the picture and the model.

I would greatly appreciate it if you could post a photo brmeyer but don't put yourself out man. I've researched these forks to death......I'm sure I'll run across a photo sooner or later.
