Hi all
Looking at getting a 29+ frame and forks the only forks I can find are the manitou magnum 29+ does anyone no of anymore out there or if any standard 29 forks fit?
Thanks Paul

Whisky forks look nice. There is also a enve form as well. Both ££££ though.

Re: 29+ forks
I was assuming given mention of Manitou Magnum, that we were talking suspension forks .... if we're talking rigid, them most 29er forks have enough clearance.
May the bridges you burn light your way
Re: 29+ forks
suspension forks.
MRP Stage
Manitou Magnum - Need boost 110 front hub
2016 Fox 27.5+ also fit 29 plus - Need 110 hub
2013 Fox F29 - 29+ fits, but recommend summer use only personally
There are spacer kits to adjust 100mm front hubs to boost 110mm
I use rigid for 29+ but occasionally suspension, when I do, I fit a panaracer Fat B nimble tyre as its only 2.75" measured.
Rigid, what they said. I have a whiskey No 9

Re: 29+ forks
Having used the 2013 Fox forks with a 29+ setup may I concur that you don't want much mud going on at the same time. Space is....precious with some tyres.

Yup, hence the preference for the smaller panaracers.GregMay wrote:Having used the 2013 Fox forks with a 29+ setup may I concur that you don't want much mud going on at the same time. Space is....precious with some tyres.

Re: 29+ forks
Those panaracers are crap though. Mine lasted 2 weeks before a 2 inch slash in the flimsy sidewall.
Re: 29+ forks
you certainly cant run them as low a chronicle or knard pressure wise.
I've not wrecked mine yet, though they are on the floor in the shed
