Fork for Carbon 456

mooseface2r

Can any recommend a 140 - 150mm fork for a On-One Carbon 456 im going to build.

Looking to spend around £300 but would spend a touch more if its going to be worth it.

Thanks

What hubs do you have, do you require a specific axle?

One word. Revelation.

Oops. Two more words... From Merlin. £350 will get you one of the best forks available anywhere, I put one on my Brother In Law's c456 just recently. Looks nice!

thanks, i have no wheels yet, was going to start with the forks then get some wheels to match.

benpinnick

Those forks matched to some Superstar Switch/crest combos witha 15mm axle would be great.

benpinnick are these the forks you mean http://www.merlincycles.com/bike-shop/f ... -2013.html

Yep - they're the ones. Last years are slightly cheaper and have dual air and remote lockout options too... depends what your after.

plus these wheels: http://superstar.tibolts.co.uk/product_ ... cts_id=496 - go crest if you are light > moderate weight, flow if you carry some more.. ahem.. bulk around with you (IMHO).

Thats £500 > £550 for a seriously sorted, pretty light but still tough 150mm/15mm set up. Just watch the steerers on the forks, make sure you get the right one.
