i have a KHS 1000 Fat Tire. I’m looking into a suspension fork to fit. What are my options. Threadless Zero Stack 1 1/8” bearings. I’m willing to change out the races and bearings for more choices too. The other problem is my axle is a drop out 150mm.

Rockshox Bluto and Luna Lander are two options they carry, they also have Wren inverted fork, although I've never heard positive things about inverted bicycle forks they might be good too. -
Well, it looks like I’m going to go with the Wren. Needing to change out the headset to a tapered and lace a new 15mm through axel hub to my rim.Comment

I use the RST Renegade on our 2 fat bikes.Comment

The Manitou Mastodon is another choice.
On my current non e fat bike build I’m using a Manitou Magnum 27.5 boost fork with Vee Tire H-Billie 26 x 4.25 tires. The tires actually measure 3.5”. Since the Salsa Bucksaw frame Is limited to a max 3.8” tire anyway I thought I’d try a narrower fork. I’ll swap out the headset on one of the Renegades to match the Magnum to make it easy to switch forks as an option.Comment

I’m in the process of modifying my KHS 1000 right now. I want to put on a Wren fork. They make a 150mm width but require a 15mm through axle which the 1000 doesn’t come with. So I am planning to buy a new front hub and have it laced into the original rim and getting the Cane Creek 44/40 to account for the tapered lower bearing. All in all expecting it to cost around $1500 with labor.Comment
