What the Fork?

Hunter at Lubars

I miss this setup.  I would love to be able to add a nice mini-rack on my Seven Mudxium, attach my Bailey Work D-Rack Bag and have my coffee kit with me on all rounds.

In essence the dream fork will be:

  • Tapered
  • Disk brakes
  • Fender tabs
  • Crown hole
  • Mid-fork screws for rack mounting
  • Room for 45mm tires, possibly

With the recent announcements of the Specialized Sequoia I was reminded that there isn’t really a reason not to have rack bosses on carbon forks.  So I started looking for options in the market.  So, what do we have on the table?

  • Seven Max 45 Tapered Disc Fork – this fork has room for loads of rubber and fender tabs.  Sadly, I can’t figure out how to add a rack to this.
  • Whisky Parts No. 9 Carbon Thru Axle Cross Fork – This one has loads of room, fits the bill pretty well but does not have any way that I could find to add a rack.
  • Rodeo Labs Spork – This looks like the absolute winner.  It has everything on my list.  The price point is much lower than the rest ($380) and it looks super sexy.  This may end up on the Mudxium very soon.  Stay tuned.
