Damaged fork on R&M Multicharger. What would make a good replacement?
Posted by TheDarkClaw@reddit | ebikes | View on Reddit | 5 comments
So i call up this bike shop I go to(plus they build my wheel for the winter) and brought my suspension fork (as one of their sellers told me it would be okay to bring) and said the fork is damaged/toasted. Should I not be able to get a new one, what are my other options. I am looking at the fork . Would this be fine for my cargo bike? Would it be better than the stock suspension fork that comes with the ebike?

whatever you get you need to make sure it has the same travel, steertube and fork offset as the one youre replacing.

Could a 27.5 suspension fork with 26 inch wheels work on a 26inch e-bike? The seem to be more 27.5 suspension forks that fit what im looking for

You can most likely upgrade or downgrade the suspension fork as long as the length from the headtube to the dropouts is the same and it has the same kind of steering tube as the original fork (straight or tapered).

what about if its boost or not? The stock fork is boost 110mm x 15mm thru for example? Will something like that affect the wheel if I go with a fork that has a 110mm x 20 thru axel?

You'll need to match your current wheel or buy one that matches the new fork.
