I've just purchased a 2014 day one disc frame (853) and discovered the fork weighs more than the frame!

Could anybody help with finding a replacement carbon fork? I think the current one measures approx 395mm and as a 45mm rake. I've contacted Genesis but not had a reply yet

Any help much appreciated

It's 387mm A-C. You can order a replacement carbon fork from Madison (P/N #GN99910). Will need to be ordered through a Genesis dealer, mind.

Anybody got any idea what a fork with a 20mm longer a to c would do to the steering, etc

It'll slacken the head angle by just over a degree: http://sheldonbrown.com/rinard/forklengths.htm

I buy my forks from aliexpress - carbon is around 500 grams and less than 100£

Formatting Help

Don't worry about formatting, just type in the text and we'll take care of making sense of it. We will auto-convert links, and if you put asterisks around words we will make them bold.

Tips:

Create headers by underlining text with ==== or ----

To *italicise* text put one asterisk each side of the word

To **bold** text put two asterisks each side of the word

Embed images by entering:
![](https://www.google.co.uk/images/srpr/logo4w.png)
That's the hard one: exclamation, square brackets and then the URL to the image in brackets.

* Create lists by starting lines with asterisks

1. Create numbered lists by starting lines with a number and a dot

For syntax highlighting, surround the code block with three backticks:

Just like Github, a blank line must precede a code block.
