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.
