Bought to replace broken fork on an older Felt B12. Could not find original from manufacturer.Two other forks I tried would hit the frame when turned. Different offset than original (43mm), so not perfect. However better than a useless frame. Worked out great. Fits and looks great.

This item is supposed to come with an Expander Top Cap; it did not. Any attempt to communicate with Bucklos was unsuccessful. Their listed contact number does not work. Their link for questions is routed to the Amazon automated response program and ultimately to a message to contact Amazon customer service. The Amazon rep said to request a replacement with the chance a Top Cap would be included in the replacement - it was not. Notifying Amazon that the item description is not accurate has not resulted in a clarification of the description or any contact from Bucklos (in spite of their claim to respond to any concern within 24 hours). Follow-up contact with an Amazon rep still resulted in no way to contact Bucklos directly. She said she would elevate the complaint. She provided an Amazon credit to compensate for the need for me to purchase an Expander Top Cap separately. While appreciated, this really is not Amazon's responsibility, but should fall to Bucklos.As to the fork itself, I can only give initial impressions. The overall appearance is less refined than my other carbon forks - especially the steering tube is unfinished and has a noticeable seam, something that is not present on my other forks. Having said that, the fork is significantly less expensive than those forks.After two weeks and 750 miles, the following are my preliminary comments regarding the forks performance. The steering feel is somewhat different than the other forks (probably due to the shorter offset), but it is something I am adjusting to. The ride comfort is good - it is stiff, but does not result in a rougher ride than my other forks. So far, I am satisfied with its performance on my initial rides. My main question is about the durability of the fork and how it will hold up in the long term. That concern is only reinforced by the lack of customer service support and responsiveness of Bucklos.

Installed on 2015 Giant Revel 29. Went together fast and fit well. I didnt consider that it would be Shorter than the stock Suntour susp fork but no biggie, just a stem and bar change and call it good.

Great fork, saved me 4-5 lb of weight over the stock suspension, and doesn’t eat up the pedaling momentum like shocks do. Bolted straight on with no problems.

Light and solid. Only one concern. It's little tapered at the end. Had to file headset ring to fit it. On review I'll give them 4 star. But the rest 5 star.

Works fine. Had to sand down steer tube since was too big in diameter.

This is a review of the 29 inch all black fork:According to my LBS it is a solid cheap fork with some decent welds. It's relatively light compared to a crap suspension fork. Works well for a DIY MTB to Gravel conversion.Flaws:-- Axle to crown is not accurate to listing. My measurement was close to 404ish mm. This might actually fit MTB geometry better tho...- Steerer is plenty long. The supplied compression plug is trash and should not be used. Get a star nut installed- Brake caliper mount is not 100% accurate. I had to use washers to dial it in. No biggie- Also brake rotor is positioned super close to fork. Like suuuuper close- Somehow installing the crown race was far harder than removing it from the old fork. I had to leave it in boiling water for a few min to get it to fit. And even then it required I swing a hammer from over my head to bang it in. And I'm moderately strong- Paint is very cheap and matte. Doesn't seem lacquered or clear coated. In fact the stealth "LUTU" logo is lacquered on and that's it. Attracts grime like mad.Overall satisfied but could be better. It's very light and makes the bike wheelie happy which makes me happy.

Nicely built fork! All the posted dimensions check out as per the ad, and it all seems to be fitting the bike nicely. The bike is not done yet so the attached images are with 26" tires but it's the 27.5" fork. Ride quality seems good from the initial cruise around the neighborhood. Shipping was delayed a fair bit but it was not the sellers fault as they shipped it out within a day of the order being placed. Definitely a good value for someone wanting to convert an older hard tail to a full rigid commuter or touring bike. Will update if anything comes up later in the build. Happy riding!

I like the look, seems solid, have been riding for a while now and still am happy with the purchase. I've put about 100 miles on the fork so far and nothing stands out, just a nice solid fork. I would recommend
