Thx WP...probably looking more to just get the basic sag dialed for cheap before looking at a shock/coil upgrade. Quite a few things on this build need upgrading before that actually...
This 550 spring that came in the bike pops jumps nice...but holy waaay too stiff...haha

In Vernon we have Galaxy powder coating. they once redid a bike 5 times because it wasn't going perfectly and didnt charge me a dime more. Less than 200 to have bike done.

I was so stoked, this is everything I want, I was literally gonna get one off CRC.

But then I read "tapered",

pfft.

A quick peek at The Google implies that it might be possible with some frames...using a fully external lower adapter cup or something........I certainly don't know enough about it tho

Love that fork. I had one in 2010, funny enough, on a BB7 frame. Temporarily.

I'm not in the market but what are you asking for it? Might know of someone who is.

$400 paper cash money I guess.......damn, I really should keep it, but I suppose this old 888 will be fine as my spare after I upgrade it.
Brand new take-off fork...not "mint" or 2 "light rides"....Brand spankin' new ...my 888 is getting put on as we speak, just had to wait a few days for the reducer bits it needed
