    Yes but not full carbon and also not designed for ext headset on 1 1/8¨headtube. I would like something sub 450g that takes 28c tyres on a Velocity A23 rim. Eyelets for fenders not a must. Somebody's has got to know if you can fit 28c on Minimal forks??

    "The fork is light and strong. Looks good on standard sized steel frame tubes. The fork length is pretty close to what steel frames typically use so the bike geometry remains good. I found that 28mm Hutchinson Sector Tubeless tires mounted on wide rims will fit on this fork. The same wouldn't fit on a Woundup fork. This fork is much nicer than Ritchey's offering. I'd recommend it."

    Can anybody varify this?

  • Ah, sorry, missed the "full crabon" requirement.

  • I can once I've been into the loft - I have an enigma frame and minimal fork waiting to be built up.

    I will let you know in the next couple of days if you still need to know

  • Thank you. Any news on this? Perhaps a little photo por favor?

  • i run a 3t funda pro fork with 43mm rake on my windsor the hour. i like the combo.

  • Do you have a photo of it, I have seen only one steel frame with a funda, and didn't like it.

  • sorry for the foggy photos. have nothing to clean my lens.

    cheap ritchey headset that came stock with the bike

  • I have a minimal I can check, but only have a 25mm tire to gauge against. Any use? I'll take a photo of the clearance if so.

  • It does look like its fitting nicely with standard external headset. Thank you. What size tyre are you running on what size rim?

  • Thank you. But I want to make sure before ordering, so I will wait out for somebody to verify whether 28mm on 23mm rim will be all good.

  • I have two sets of minimals, can fit 28c panaracer on tb14 just fine. Also 27c Vittoria pave tubular with plenty space. 30mm woukd be a step too far IMO.

  • Thank you. Just the answer I was hoping for. TB14 and A23 are same width.

    Googling Panaracer 28c and Minimal gave med this:

  • 19-20mm in width? not sure. 25c tire

  • Just fitted an archetype with 28mm tubeless one tyre to my forks - plenty of clearance in my opinion. Apologies for the disc but all my normal road wheels are 25mm

  • Trying to upload photos...
