26" disc fork?

[Si]

Can anyone recomend a fork for me:
26" wheel
1.1/8th ahead
Disc brake mount
Approx 37cm crown to dropout (ie not sus corrected)
long steerer
mudguard mounts
Ideally low rider mounts if poss
Strong enough to use on light/moderate offroad / gravel / bridleways
Not one of those chinese ebay carbon jobbies.


I have an old project 2 fork that almost fits the bill but the steerer is cut too short, and they dont seem to make them in this size anymore.

Thanks.

A Thorn 26 nomad fork in black is on sjs for £140 and is available. (In the current fork section)

I would call Winstanley before buying online there. A few times I've got excited before my hopes were dashed.

Could that be because you're looking at the rim brake version you linked to...

yep. Ive already got a set of the rim brake ones...was surprised to see they do a disc brake one and for the same price.

Si, What steerer length do you need? I have a Kona P2 in the garage and could measure it up for you.

[Si]

Thanks....cant get at the bike until the weekend, but from memory: Pretty long!

[fixedfixer]

I'll take a look at the fork then. From memory the bike it was used on had a long head tube so you could be in luck. PM if you like.

[fixedfixer]

Si, measures 240mm of steerer tube. They are in reasonable condition, have the posts for V and the mount for disc. Mudguard eyes only on these - no low rider mounts.

Edit: I re read your intitial post and the need to know the crown to drop out measurement. I'll find that out.

[fixedfixer]

Measured from centre mudguard bolt hole to drop out is 410 mm. Is that going to work for you?
