What is the difference between this fork and the RockShox XC30TK?

Hello Marie,The stanchion size is 30mm while the XC 28 has a 28mm stanchion size. This will make the XC30 a little more heavy duty so it depends on the type of riding you will be doing. Let us know if you have any other questions! Worldwide Cyclery

The size of the tube is different. XC28 is 28mm and XC30 is 30mm. Thank you.

Hi there.It's an oil fork, I think you'll have to spend more for an air model.

I have a disc brake bike, I think it is called Giant XTC2, about 4 years old. It has no problem in the Yakima fork mount. I can't say for sure about your specific bike.

No, the hub spacing is too wide for any front fork I know of. In addition, rear wheels are dished(biased to one side to accommodate the drivetrain) which would make for some strange and probably dangerous handling.

Hey as long as the front hub is for a 9mm QR and the headtube is straight 1-1/8 then you should be good to use this fork!

The fork I just received (shipped & sold by Amazon) has canti mounts as well as disc mounts.

Yes there are many adapters in the kit to install it to different fork models

The pair I got has the plastic forks. I haven't had a problem with them, though. I have a cousin who has the metal ones, and I don't really notice a difference in ease of use. I guess maybe longevity could be a concern?

No. All modern front shock/forks are clamped in, I have only seen solid forks that are threaded.

Sorry, there's no indication on the fork regarding source. Just the imprint "18/8 Stainless Steel"

Yes, the crown race was included. I installed it on a Rockshox Pike, which is a 1.5 inch tapered fork.

I am 185 lbs and the spring is softer than I would like, so I would say plan on upgrading to a stiffer spring. (I believe Rock Shox does offer one.) However, the fork is a significant upgrade to the Suntour XCM-HLO that came on on my 2013 Marin Bolinas Ridge.

There are two kinds of front fork/handlebar systems. (1) The old style pre-2000 or so, where you loosened up a long bolt on top, and then, could slide the bars up and down about 3 inches. It was an expanding bolt inside the front fork. (2) The newer style where there is a handlebar mount that clamps onto the outside of a fixed length front fork. These do not have that adjustment. The Montague Paratrooper I bought has this newer type, so no adjustment - to my knowledge. The only way to raise the handlebars is to get a different "clamp" that holds the handlebars to the front fork, that has some lift in it. There are even some that are adjustable. This would be a second purchase after the bicycle.

Both are 1/4" hex quick change type, or words to that effect. The chuck on the unit without the clutch or dual-speed switch appears "beefier" although the bits fit looser in terms of in-out play.

this fork has a lockout that makes it a street style solid fork and there is also a lever on the bottom of one of the legs that regulates how fast it springs back. This would be the only way i could explain the three levels described in your question. Locked would be extra firm and when set to the rabbit when unlocked would be firm and then the turtle setting would be the light setting. hope this helps you it is an awesome fork for the money compared to others that are way more expensive.
