Description

The S&M Pitchfork XLT for 14 inch bikes uses the same build as the rest of the XLT range: double butted, tapered 4130 chromoly legs, laser cut dropouts with a 3/8" slot and a one piece CNC machined 4130 chromoly steerer with an integrated bearing race and an extruded 6061 insert.

Steerer length is 166mm with an M24 x 1.5 compression thread and a 6mm allen slot. Axle to crown height on the 14 inch version is 242mm with 33mm of offset, the fork is 4Q baked after welding, and clearance tops out at a 2.4" S&M tyre.

Features

Double butted, tapered chromoly legs. 4130 chromoly legs are butted and tapered, putting the wall thickness where the loads are instead of carrying it the whole way down.
Laser cut 3/8" dropout slots. They take a standard 3/8" front axle and the slots are cut clean, so the wheel sits square first time.
One piece CNC machined steerer. The 166mm 4130 steerer has an integrated bearing race and an extruded 6061 insert, so there is no separate crown race to fit.
33mm offset, 242mm axle to crown. Those are the 14 inch figures, so you can check how the front end will sit against the fork you are replacing.
Room for 2.4" tyres. Maximum clearance is a 2.4" S&M tyre, and the whole fork is 4Q baked after welding.
