Wanted: Steel Disc Fork (Surly Straggler, Thorn etc.)

Posted on
  • Looking for a steel disc fork with mudguard eyelets and mid-fork mounts for lowriders. Should fit bigger tires and the A-C should be in the 395 area. A Surly Straggler / Disc Trucker or a Thorn disc fork would be ideal, but I'm open to others as well. Paint doesn't matter since I'm plaining to get these repainted together with the frame.
    I live in Berlin, so seller must be willing to post to Germany.

    Thanks a lot!

  • I think I have a Pompino disc fork at home, pretty sure I haven't sold it.

  • @Jimmy_Fingers afaik there's no Pompino disc, do you mean Pompetamine?

  • I'm also looking for the exact same thing.

    After @fwd finds one.

    People let me know!!

  • Pretty sure there's a surly one on ebay

  • I have an original Croix de Fer disc fork at home.

    It's unused as I swapped it for a carbon equivalent when I built up the bike.

  • @sacredhart didn't find a surly disc fork on it. Do you have a link?

  • That's the fella

  • @boristrump sounds good. Does it have rack mounts?

  • No luck so far and nothing on eBay either. So I'm trying again here. Does anyone have what I'm looking for?

  • Still looking for used Surly Straggler forks. Has anything turned up in the meantime?

  • I have a set of straggler forks in black, if you still need them & happy to post- I can put up some pics later.

  • I have this, which I think is from a Straggler/Disc Trucker.

    I think @Cupcakes was interested but if he isn't it is up for grabs.

  • How fat a tire does it take? Looks like the wheel was put in crooked into the dropouts or was was the wheel out of straightness?

    I might be interested if fwd will pass.

  • Don't think they have made a disc trucker in black so should be a straggler. They should have the max tyre dimensions on the Surly website.

  • That's with a 40mm 700c tyre.

    I took that picture last year so I can't actually remember if that's just a bad picture or whether there actually isn't any clearance, but the wheel and fork are definitely straight so I think I just took the photo in a half-arsed way.

  • What's the axle to crown distance? Would be different for trucker vs straggler

  • I'll take them if OP doesn't (and pending price)!

  • It appears to be around 360mm, which suggests that it is not the Straggler fork, as they are listed as 400mm.

  • That's confusing as this link suggests it would be more than that even in the 650b size.

    But here are the pictures of the steerer and A to C:

  • The disc trucker 26“ has an a-c of 376mm. So it might be this?

    In any case the a-c is to short for my bike. Thanks for the offer though.

  • Price? And sideview pics?

  • £40?

    I am away for the weekend but I can supply more pics early next week or Sunday evening.

  • Did these go @tommmmmmm ?
