white brothers rustler fork

[boomforeal]

White Bros website is showing a new 20" wheel suspension fork: the rustler. the rc80 has been a coveted high-end kids bike fork for a while but difficult to source. is this a rebrand or a new fork - anyone have details? looks like you can buy one through their site but there's no information available: Mountain Racing Products home of MRP, White Brothers, Kreitler, Tamer, and Power Grips | Products

Just ordered one for my 6yr old sons built up Scott Spark 20. Should be here in a week and I will answer any questions you have, measurements etc, it is supposedly 3.1lbs. Should get his bike under 24lbs without braking a sweat, maybe approaching 23, already shaved nearly 2 lbs. I will post some pics when I get it on. Next is to modify the forward shock mount bracket to get a 5.5x1 Fox float on it. Then it will by ready for the bike parks this summer and still be able to trail ride.

i ended up getting one, along with a ripper frame, from kranked (Kranked Ripper Frames)

finished the build today in a bit of a rush, shake down ride in the school courtyard this evening



seems like a good little fork. a bit of stiction off the top but nice and plush, and uses all of its travel unlike the coil sprung pos he was riding before

$719? For real?

The Stiction will go away with a little time, nothing to worry about. I've had his on for a little over a week and between his rides and me cycling it whenever I go into the garage, it is getting smoother and more small bump sensitive every day.

Been meaning to get some pics of the bike done, I will try to remember tomorrow.
