How much can one deviate from a manufacturer’s OEM fork spec on an affordable titanium frame?
A customer needs a new fork for their tempest Ti gravel bike. PlanetX still sells bikes and frames, but doesn’t seem to stock the fork anymore (“carbon gravel…”; possibly related to last year’s bike accident lawsuit?). The specs for the full build say the fork has a 395mm AtC and a 45mm rake. Lauf have a nice looking fork that’s 408mm AtC and 45mm rake. Is that too risky to install?
