Does anyone know of a well known brand of suspension forks (preferably easily available in Australia) that is suitable for conversion with the typical axle and wheel nut size present on most of the direct drive motors (500W - 1000W)?
I do quite a few installations with the mini-motors (180-250W) on suspension forks because they nearly always slot into the moulded drop-outs due to the smaller axle width, washers and axle nuts but the larger powered motors do not do this on most modern day suspension forks. RST used to produce a steel variety on some of the older TREKS but I'm not able to get these anymore.
It's a pity SURLY don't do a good suspension fork for this purpose, any suggestions would be appreciated.
