Why are the Leftys not on the list?
Been running a coil sprung Lyrik for a couple of years with no problems.
Thank you Machinehead. I am reserving this list for forks designed for 650B, or forks the manufacturer has deemed "safe" for 650B use.
Were could I find a list of rigid forks that would be suitable for 650b use? Thanks
Most 26" rigid forks that are suspension corrected will work. Personally I got a couple Soul Cycles rigid 26" forks when they liquidated them a few years back. A-c was 485, and I have plenty of clearance with my 2.3" Neo Moto tire.
I know this is for approved forks only, however, I did just install a RS Reba 29er on my 2010 KHS 650b 606. The axel to crown is .25 inch shorter than my X Fusion Velvet. Handles great and is super stiff and responsive, being made for a 29er wheel.
Here is a list of non approved forks that work due to there being enough clearance. I'm using some Fox Vanilla 125 rlc's but am after something oil/air with a bit more travel.

No Fox? What about the Fox Talas on the Norco Range Killer-B?
Also I'm particularly interested in 650b forks that are adjustable from 140mm to 120mm on the fly. Anyone know of any?
