  • Yes, that's what we did previously. Call me lazy, but it is a lot easier to buy off-the-shelf.

    Ryan charged me £200 to add eyelets to my ENVE RD fork, also.

    If I were to do it again I would use the carbon fibre repair bunch over Dorking way who are significantly cheaper than that - the £200 was a bit of a surprise.

  • Or just get Matt to design you the perfect fork in, shock horror, steel.

  • I don't want a steel fork, Ed.

  • @Vince found a 385mm a-c fork, fullcarbon, IS disc mounts and mounts for both mudguards and rack/lowriders.
    It's getting closer.

  • Link @drøn ?

  • theres a photo in his cp thread.

  • I don't want a steel fork, Ed.

    You could get him to make you one from tin foil instead.

  • I think you are either a fan of that particular aesthetic or you are not - I'm in the latter camp.

    The ride is excellent though, and they can make you one with road a2c, disc tabs, guard mounts and black anodised silver bits....

  • Hang on. Can't you get eyelets that go between the fork any QR. I mean the QR slots through the eyelets then through the hub. You the attach wheel with eyelets aligned then attach guards.

    Link somewhere.

  • I looked at them after your post. They are not cheap! Once you want more than bog standard.

  • Just a loop round the qr skewer.

    It slows (slightly) taking the wheel out, but yeah it works. Or you could glue some clips on.

  • Issue is that they don't answer the question posed by the lack of brake caliper mount.

  • Genesis are saying they'll be selling their new Equilibrium Disc fork separately - carbon w/alloy steerer, disc mounts (obvs), mudguard eyelets (on the outside of the fork blade by the look of it).

  • oops

  • the genesis fork is so ugly.

  • the problem is you want such a short fork. the genesis will probably be as long as the lynskey.
    you could buy a Trek Domane and use the fork and throw away the rest.

  • Dammit, what happened to those 3D printed mudguard mounts that Pretorious manufactured?

  • the problem is you want such a short fork. the genesis will probably be as long as the lynskey.

    The stated clearance on the Equilibrium Disc fork is only 28C or 25C + mudguards. It's not a cross fork.

  • Issue is that they don't answer the question posed by the lack of brake caliper mount.

  • I take it none of the forks have an opening under the steerer tube – of a kind that could take some sort of custom, expander-bolt-fixed daruma type thing?

  • The Genesis forks seem to have a brake caliper hole in the crown.

  • When was cost ever a concern to dammit?!

  • Are those Axiom strong enough to hold a rack too ?
