Hi All,

I have a 2009 Spesh Enduro in need of some new forks - I love the bike so I'm prepared to put some effort into it.

26", 150 to 160mm travel, 15mm axle
1.1/8 STRAIGHT steerer
34mm or greater chassis prefer 35mm or 36mm

So far I have only found one option - Fox 36 PN:910-20-088
These things are quite hard to source in Australia :(
I'll be going to the US on a work trip in October.

does anyone know of another option?

Thanks,
Matthew

Rockshox certainly don't do anything new, so you'd be looking for some old stock Pikes.

Magura do the TS8, only 32mm but the double arch recovers some torsional stiffness.

Rock Shox does the Revelation in 1 1/8 with 150 mm, but then you have to make due with 32 mm stanchions.

Indeed, its a good WW 150mm fork, but is flexy compared to bigger stanchion forks.
