If these had been available when my LongLow's brake mount broke off, I might have grabbed one. In fact, it's still tempting to get one, the LongLow's fork blades are round, not ovalized, and clearance is really really tight on larger tires (38mm is not happening at all), let alone fenders... A

Grab em while you can indeed. It calls them SimpleOne forks, so I presume these are left overs from the sudden demise of that model shortly after they became available. So as a corollary, if you have a Quickbeam or SimleOne and like it at all, hang on to it. They are not likely to be available

Haha! Grant does not believe in low trail. 40mm of thread means that there are 40mm of threads cut on the steerer. So, looking at the medium length fork, with a 218mm steerer, the threads go from 178mm to 218mm. When you go measure on your 700c bike that you want to install this fork, you m

It says "40mm of thread". Did they mean "40mm of trail"? And does that qualify as low trail? Nice fork: Canti fork for maximum fender raising ability and easy rack mounting through the fork crown. Barrels and the double eyelets on the dropouts. Maximum convenience for add-ons. Too cool! -- You

Steve Yes you can run a caliper brake in that crown. 47.5mm of rake is a tiny bit more than 'normal'. I think 45mm is the most common rake you'd see on road bikes. Measuring rake is pretty easy if you have the fork off and lay it flat on the table. Measure how high the centerline of the s
