Replacement Forks

[WarChild007]

Hiya,

I've got a Trek Liquid 65 with Manitou Nixon Super Forks (145mm travel and weigh 4.2lb)

http://www.trekbikes.com/us/en/bikes/2005/archive/...

I'm looking at changing the forks and wonder what a similar fork would be, similar setup (travel, weight, spring type) with axel (as I dont want to change the wheels). Any suggestions?

Is that the 9mm or 20mm option?

9mm or 20mm option of what sorry?

I wasnt given any options when I bought the bike, if you mean the axel, its got a Hex Lock Thru Axel which I would imagine is 20mm (assuming the 9mm is the traditional skewer type).

This has lots of specs for the Nixon forks...

If you need a 20mm thru axle, consider a Fox Float 36 160mm; the travel can be reduced to 140 or 150mm. If you want lighter, the Fox Float 32, but they have a 15mm thru axle.

If you're not too fussed about having travel adjust then these Rock Shox Sektors would be a good buy. Slightly lighter than your Nixons too.

Thanks for the advice guys, I'll have a look at the forks and see what I think.
