Libre bigfoot front fork wanted


I am considering 17" rims but would need to get a new front end (Neck & Fork).

I have the Libre Full Race buggy with the standard straight neck.

Anyone have one of these laying around or know of a source that might be able to help?

Thanks!
Paul

Libre makes a fork that is narrow and likely has the space to handle a disk wheel without all the width. I have a libre buggy with the fork. I can take a pic of it and/or take measurements if it will help you out speedy. :D

Oh, and Paul, you may wish to work out your whole fore-aft balancing and kite selection before installing those Lenticulars. Otherwise you'll be good for about 5 miles per front tire! :evil:

John - pbbbbt!

Steve - meep meep (notice beaker and road runner have the same noise? Interesting.)

Bobby - thanks for taking the high road and not get pulled into their gradeschool recess nana-nana-na-na Schinanigans. Yes, a picture would be very helpful of how the thin wheel fits.

All...I am thinking that it might simply be easier to buy a new buggy that can take me to the next level. Then John can lob his insults at me... but I will be so far in front of him I won't hear them.

Bobby... John and I flew Saturday in the major wind storm (30mph+). I got to 39.6 mph on a 1.8m RAGE on 5m lines.
