    Default Forks, Forks, and More Forks….

    Hello All! I am researching forks for a client. He is 6'6" 250ish lbs. So he is a big boy. His frame will be somewhere near a 67cm. So, I need to either build him an incredibly strong fork or source one for him elsewhere. Suggestions? Thanks in advance….

    Or build him one out of e-R's new(ish) blades. They have lots of extra length at the top and can be trimmed VERY thick. These are the ones we use and we recently built a fork for Toots who is 6'8". Some say he is a pretty serious rider as well.
