Steel forks from Sklar Bikes now available a la carte
Previously available only as part of a frameset or a complete bike from the California brand, Sklar Bikes is now selling its steel forks for individual purchase. The SuperSomething Gravel Fork and PBJ Fork are claimed to "bring modern steel performance to a wide range of all-terrain builds" and to offer an alternative to carbon-fiber rigid MTB or adventure-type forks. Each is built with a straight 1-1/8” steerer, generous tire clearance for intended disciplines, rack and cargo mounts, internal dynamo routing, and offered in two color options.
The PBJ Fork (above left) is suspension-corrected to 100 mm for mountain bikes, with bikepacking and ATB riding in mind. Its axle-to-crown measures 485 mm with a 55 mm offset and has been tested to clear a range of tire sizes from 29 x 2.8 t0 32 x 2.5. Meant for gravel bikes, the SuperSomething Fork (above right) features a 412 mm axle-to-crown, 52 mm offset, and can fit up to 700 x 55 mm (29x2.1”) or 650 x 2.8 tires. Pricing is US$280 each.
