29er / Re: 500mm Axle to Crown fork
« on: October 19, 2024, 05:13:05 PM »
Thanks, I've heard machining is often needed for brake mounts as well as clean up of the crown area.

As for the 480mm Axle to crown - I've measured the static sag - it's <5mm with fork air pressure set as recommended for my weight - meaning to maintain the geo I do need a 500mm fork?

If this didn't matter I'd go for:

an Alu (485mm) https://www.aliexpress.com/item/32873574338.html or
OG-EVKIN FK-007 (475mm? - TBC) https://www.aliexpress.com/item/4001316304690

That Alu fork takes 180mm rotor without adapters too.

I'm sure this has been done to death, but I'm looking to "upgrade" my Judy Silver Air to a rigid.

I wouldn't mind a rigid Alu but these are difficult to find these in matching specs, so I'm looking at Ali carbon offerings.

Narrowed down to half a dozen, most have 480 CL, Judy nominal is 506 (as per Specialized specs).

The "tallest" option I found so far is FK-11, but little feedback on these or sales history. Hoping for your options on this:

Apologies if this is in the wrong forum area - please move if needed.
