Hi Sebastian. I checked with our lead mechanic. We haven’t fit a 240 OS to our fork, but we measured with calipers and it looks like it will fit. You will need the 15mm axle option so be sure to select that.

The length and thread pitch of our axles is laser-etched on all of our axles, except for very very old ones.

Here are some guidelines:

1. Front is 131mm long (127mm would do also), 18mm thread length. M12 x P 1.5
2. Rear is 172mm long (for Flaanimal and TD3), 16mm thread length, M12 X P 1.5

As of July 2024 there is no way to put a spork on a straight steer tube bike, but by the end of 2024 we will have a straight steer tube specific Spork 3.2, and we couldn’t be more excited about it. The more people we saw using Sporks to upgrade their third party frames, the more motivated we got to develop this new version of the Spork so that it would be compatible with more bikes. So, there is still a wait for a few months, but we’re not far off.

Hey Mike,

I’m assuming you are looking at the Flat Mount version of the Klampers and not the Post Mount version. Based on this, we don’t actually have experience mounting those on a Flaanimal frame. For the front brake, you’ll just need the standard flat mount plate for 140mm or 160mm rotor.

On the rear brake, you may have to use one of our ‘Off The Back’ sliders. This is likely, but it could be worth giving it a shot with the standard sliders before you spring for the alternative set. We’d love to hear how it goes if you’d like to send us feedback when you get them!

Hey Alex, thanks for reaching out about our Spork! Without knowing more about the size of frame you ride and the specifics of the geometry, it sounds like you’re on the right track. The 45mm fork will give you more of the handling characteristics you’re looking for whereas the 50mm fork would be  more stable with weight. One thing to be conscious of as you go with a lower rake fork is toe overlap when making tight turns. Your front wheel is going to get tucked in a little bit more so I would take a look at your current set up and make sure there is a little bit of clearance there.

Ekar will work quite nicely on a TD2.1 and is a solid, well crafted, and very functional groupset. It would make for a nice upgrade / refresh of the bike.

Frame weight only lists the weight of the actual frame.

Fork weight is 490g on average

Hi Maxwell. We do have demo bikes availble to book and ride. Just go to rodeo-labs.com/demos and use code GRAVELFORALL for each reservation if you’d like to take one out for the day at no cost. If you’d like to just throw a leg over one at HQ, you can very easily do that. Just shoot greg@rodeo-labs.com a note and he can make sure someone is expecting you and here to make your visit as informative as possible.

Thank you!

Stephen
