Hey all,

Looking for kind of a unique XC front fork.
Specs needed:
100-120mm Travel
15mm Thru Axle
1 1/8" Steerer Tube Frame/headset

Best one i've found is on Ebay. Its a brand New 2013 MRP White Brothers Loop 15 mm thru-axle tapered 100 mm 26" 27.5" 650B for $500!

Not looking to spend that much but if that MRP fork is that sweet, may have to buy it.

Thanks!

I have this fork. It's very sweet, but at $500 it seems a tad high in price. I believe it was $750 new.
 
After doing some research, looks like 15mm thru axle adapters are a thing to be able to run a 9mm QR fork. May go that route and do a Manitou Markhor 11mm, 9mm axle $224.
 
I have a potential option; a 26er 1 1/8 non-tapered NIB upper assembly for a Manitou Marvel. The uppers are the same as 27.5 but the offset is 41.28mm vs 44mm. had 2 and sold one to someone on Pinkbike who put it on a 27.5 Marvel; he confirmed it worked. I also have a new 26" Marvel Expert 120mm w/ a tapered steer tube/ABS+ and 15mm QR15 Hexlock lowers. I've not tried a 27.5 wheel in the Marvel, but they have fit my Nixon Super's w/ 20mm axle when I was using it. If you want to try the front wheel we can arrange something.

The uppers are listed on Pinkbike here:
https://www.pinkbike.com/buysell/2321562/

2 options:
1: The uppers alone if you wanted to find a 27.5 tapered Marvel
2: The 26 fork with both the tapered and non-tapered steer tubes.

PM if interested in discussing further.
 
I have a Fox Rhythm 130mm, 15mm boost fork off a 5010. Nice fork for the money. About 6 months of use and new seals. $300
