FS:. 58 cm Hunqapillar Fork for 26" Wheels

[Conway Bennett]

I've tried selling this opportunistically over the years but I just pulled it out of the parts bin again and I want it gone.

I had a 58 cm Hunqapillar fork modified by comrade cycles in Chicago to accept a 26" wheel. I am into it for ~ $290, make me a fair offer shipped from Chicagoland and it's yours. Thanks in advance.

Neat.

How wide a tire will it accept?

How would it work with a 58 cm Toyo Atlantis?

I wonder if I could stick this on and get wider than 2.2" for the unexpected sandpit on the trail.

Probably a bad idea but might as well find out.

Thanks

Matt,

I added two pictures of the bike I had it mounted on for reference.  I am not sure how the fit will be on a Toyo Atlantis but I was running 26 x 2.15 smart Sam's on cliffhanger rims with a lot of clearance.  This is also a  good project for someone who wants to modify it further to accept disc brakes.

Fair winds,

Oh interesting. I just starting building my Bridgestone XO-2 was a little disappointed in the tight clearance at the fork. Looked great on yours! Any reason in particular you weren't satisfied with the swap?

[Conway Bennett]

The 1993 XO-2 has very tight clearance by current standards which is what instigated the initial fork project.  The XO-2 I had was basically NOS and I also ended up with a 1994 XO-3 that had seen some use.  I treated the XO-2 too preciously and I wanted a daily driver which is why I kept the XO-3.  Around the same time I bought a 650b Hunqapillar so I never used the fork again.

Thanks for the pics and info Conway.

My idea to apply this to a 700c Atlantis is dumb because the difference between 700c and 26" is too great.  To have equal total wheel size (wheel + tire), I'd have to run a skinny tire in the back and a 2.2"+ up front.  Nope.

Thanks though.  Cool stuff.  

If I knew a Hunqapillar fork was the biggest piece of a Hunqapillar I'd ever get to own, I might purchase it for that reason alone :-p
