Description:29" rigid fork by Salsa. This one has mounts for disc brakes and some tidy cable guides down the back of the left leg. No canti-studs on this fork keep it looking clean. There is a stealthy single hole drilled for a fender or your reflector and a pair of eyelets at the dropouts. Straight legs have 43mm rake. 1 1/8" steertube is 260mm long. OX Platinum steel.

$100.00 | | Purchased At: | speedgoat | | Strengths: | springy steel, decent weight, solid steering, has cable guides on back of leg | | Weaknesses: | not as light as a carbon but much safer. hard to find colors other than black | | Similar Products Used: | pace, on one ti, surly km, nashbar steel, waltworks | | Bike Setup: | quiring ti hardtail | | Bottom Line: | i am sure you can get a better fork if you spend a lot of money, but this is a great fork for $100. is is comfy for a rigid, decent weight for steel. but best of all, i like the 43mm of rake campared to 38mm on most forks. this sharpens up the steering quite nicely. i have looked at niner, if, on one carbon and others for a fork upgrade and keep on riding this salsa. | Value Rating: Overall Rating: |

$95.00 | | Purchased At: | Speedgoat | | Strengths: | For me this fork is close to ideal. Both springy and solid, enough compliance but no tuck even under hard braking. | | Weaknesses: | Essentially none. With a Shimano skewer I've never had any issue with wheel loosening, under any circumstances. | | Similar Products Used: | Rigid alloy fork on my old 26r SS. | | Bike Setup: | I'm around 160 ready to ride, and ride not very aggressively on quite technical terrain. I run BB7's and a Shimano skewer. The fork compliments my Juice frame pretty well. | | Bottom Line: | I great all-buisness steel fork. Interesting the Salsa wised so quickly and raised the price. | | Value Rating:Overall Rating: |

Date Reviewed: December 2, 2006 | | Favoriate Trail: | Southern Traverse | | Duration Product Used: | Less than 1 month | | Purchased At: | Just The Right Gear | | Strengths: | Fairly light, strong, compliant | | Weaknesses: | slight worry with the rear facing dropouts | | Similar Products Used: | Surly, Redline | | Bike Setup: | 2006 Mariachi set up 1x9 with sram x9, juicy 7's, Bontrager XXX lite flat bar | | Bottom Line: | This fork is quite nice for the price. I purchased it as the frameset with the Mariachi. Clean solid welds, OX Platinum tubing and sus corrected for a great price! I highly recommend this fork to anyone looking for a quality steel fork at a decent price. Salsa has a great CS rep and are easy to get a hold of. 877-moto-ace :) | | Value Rating:Overall Rating: |
