Looking for a decent suspension fork....I am very "Thrifty" so cost does matter :lol: but I would like it to work reasonably well and I am willing to pay whatever it takes to get there.
The bike is a hardtail, Mongoose Terrex, steel framed, bike from Walmart that I turned into an electric Mt Bike. MAC rear hub motor and a 52v triangle battery in the frame all from EM3ev. The bike weighs 67 lbs and I weigh 200 lbs…what fork should I put on it?
Details:
A. Aggressive off road riding, no jumping.
B. Axle diameter is .371 inches or 9.42 mm and it clamps to the fork on both sides i.e. not a quick release.
C. Bike came with 27.5 x 52mm internal width rims and I plan to run a 27.5 x 3.00 Maxxis tire.
D. 1 1/8 Steerer…no taper.
E. Dropout/OLD = 100mm.
F. Axle to crown approximately 20 5/16 inches or 515mm.
The forks I have found are tapered, have 110 mm dropout/OLD, and most use a 15 mm thru axles. I could use washers to space from 100 mm to 110 mm but the taper and the thru axle are show stoppers.
Any recommendations or enlightenment would be appreciated.
Thank You
