Segmented Ti Forks

Yeah it’ll be way bigger that the segmented fork on My Fat Chance.

I think my Fat Chance fork was built by Igleheart, funny enough biked by his old place on the North Shore yesterday.

Good luck and please follow up and share your Ti ride experience!

I was (am) a little worried about the ride quantity, but I figure 29x2.2-2.6 tyres should help out with that some. I’m gonna post the final specs below on the fork. It’s been slightly delayed due to tube sourcing issues.

I can get one made for you if you want.

Here are the fork dimensions, this schematic shows 28.6 legs, however vs the 31.8 legs that will be produced. Internal routing for dynamo and discs, three pack mounts on the side and a hole on the fork crown. So should be able to mount side doohickies and a rack like the Nitto M18.

Hopefully will have one in my hand in the next few weeks, and some for sale mid June.
