New rigid forks for the Hardrock... to replace the pretty rigid Suntour fork shaped objects

Not too interesting I hope

I was getting about an inch of movement on an average Epping ride out of the Suntour forks and they weigh 2.8kg. The carbon forks are .8kg so I thought I could live without lunking an extra 2kg about for that much error compensation.

Stock it weighed 14.2kg (31lb)... wheels, forks and xt cassette saved 2.5kg so 11.7kg . Bars and lighter tyres say 200g ??? so I reckon it's about 11.5kg (25.5lb)

Should be much more fun in the Epping mud

Man maths allows me to ignore the 10kg the rider could lose :oops:

Looks really good.
If you want more places to loose weight?
Crank, grips, seat post, seat and disc rotors. you could get that down to under 10 i would say.
My 29er HT was 9kg on rigid forks

Very nice, I am very close to buying the same forks for my hard tail. They do look good on the bike but still waiting for the On-one 29er carbon fork to come in stock.

you'll have it in a week, and their lighter too, mine came in at about 300g

They're all on the list VW

although I'll just replace parts as they break / wear out. First on the list is the crank set probably look at 2 or 1 by 10. Going on how long the original BB lasted that should be in about 6 months :eh:

Malc... I was tempted by the On One forks but the Exotic ones were £35 cheaper.....

On the car park test it rides so much better... weekend will tell for sure

It does look good Martin although you could ride it on the road easily

bugeye · **Posts:** 740 **Location:** Cake shop

Yes.. but if I were to ride it on the road I'd have to wear Lycra.... I don't think anyone wants that :lolno:

Very nice, i need a straight steerer though. Had a look over and they dont seem to make them which is annoying.

I think the £35 is worth spending to get the full carbon fork rather than the alloy/carbon mix.
