Title: Fox forks
Post by: LWC82PE on December 15, 2008, 09:03:38 pm

are all fox forks 44mm? is there at all any possibility there were 40mm ones?

Pretty certain there are only the 44mm fox forks, before the fox's were the simons 37mm. Have you come across some 40mm forks?

Unless he's trying to measure with a ruler instead of verniers?

some one got a bargain here, but i got the clamps ;D will they be 40 or 44mm we shall see. i might be interested in swaping them for a set of White Brothers or Profab triple clamps for a leading axle XT/TT 500 or IT yamaha. Thor Lawson said 40mm would be news to him but perhaps they made a one off 40mm set for a pro XT/TT 500 sponsored Baja rider?

otherwise sellers verniers were faulty or they were very very slack and tryed using a steel ruler.

Simons forks come up on Ebay US pretty often, just gotta look regularly.
