I have acquired a suspension fork for my linear pull setup (a WB BW1.0). I'm still interested in the spinner fork though. A local shop has their own line of frames, and they use a few of the spinner forks on their 26" ATBs. I think they're considering making a 29er frame, it would be interesting to hear some feed back on the spinner fork that I could pass on to them. Thanks for the info. :)

If something else turns up, we may try that, but at this time I'm afraid we won't be doing this. We do, however, have a suspension fork we will be introducing that also supports the cantilever brake user. Stay tuned for that and a possible linear pull brake set up on one of our test bikes soon.

Will you be testing them out? I really like that you can run v brakes on this fork, I wish more companies kept v brake mounts on their forks and frames. Will you be testing them out?
