• Shit.

    Do you happen know if they were the thicker version blades?
    And what kind of bike it was on? Looks like they have front pannier braze-ons....
    Maybe it makes a difference if it's a fully-loaded tourer.

  • Thanks @GideonPARANOID, both of those links are super helpful.

    I guess at the end of the day I'll leave it to Winston to decide if he's happy with the Max option. Tbf those 853 forks don't look so bad...

    I usually don't like the curve on 853 disc forks (like on this Beaumont) but those Varonha ones are maybe marginally better - the bend seems slightly smoother and nearer the dropouts, but maybe that's just the photo...?

    If it's possible to twin them with a more sympathetic crown (actually like the Beaumont) then I might be tempted... if it's possible to get them done straight I'll be 100% convinced!
