CROSS BLADE RIM

is probably the best Switch Blade fork of its time. We have optimized the classic design once again and offer the fork for all old and modern wheel sizes. Of course with height-adjustable cantilever brake sockets and for quick release skewers. The fork is designed for XC and gravel use and fits perfectly for classic 1“ and 1 1/8” straight head tubes.

The tapered titanium blades are made especially for us and offer a good compromise between braking stiffness and riding comfort.

As with all of our forks, you can set the installation height to create the perfect geometry for your custom bike. The dropouts are bonded to the titanium blades and are open on the inside. This allows you to easily route a cable through the fork legs. All other parts are bolted and replaceable.

TIRE CLEARANCE

The tire clearance depends on the wheel radius, the installation height of the fork and the height of the fork crown. We recommend a tire clearance of no less than 15mm. With the selected tire clearance you can easily calculate the required installation height ATC (axle to crown):

Installation height ATC = tire radius - tire clearance - fork crown height (44.5mm)

The standard installation height in the store is 415mm. Other versions are available on request. Titanium bolts and a titanium steerer tube are optionally available. Please write us a short mail.
