Here are some of its great features: Reversible dropout chips for 44 or 52mm offsets, a removable mini carbon fiber fender for a clean ride, unique hose retention carbon clips for easy brake hose securing, and you can use included adapters to run 140, 160, or 180mm disc brake rotors. Specifications include a Post Mount 160 brake mount, 29er wheel size, 39.7 or 40 crown race, 0 wheel mount center offset, black color, 15mm Thru x 100mm front axle, tapered steerer type, 44 or 52 offset, carbon material, 300mm steerer tube length, 3.8 maximum tire clearance, 28.6 S.H.I.S. stem clamp diameter, 470 axle to crown length, and it weighs 686 grams.
Using this mountain fork is easy. First, make sure to install it correctly on your bike following the instructions that come with your bike. Adjust the reversible dropout chips to get the 44 or 52mm offset that suits your riding. The removable fender can be put on or taken off depending on the weather and riding conditions. If you need to change the disc brake rotor, use the included adapters to fit 140, 160, or 180mm rotors. When it comes to maintenance, regularly check the disc brake hose clips to make sure they're holding the hoses securely. Keep the fork clean, especially after riding in muddy or wet conditions. You can use a soft cloth to wipe it down. Store it in a dry place when not in use. And always check for any signs of damage before each ride. If you notice anything wrong, have it checked by a professional bike mechanic.
