Title: Noleen Chubby DH fork internals
Post by: Chris on November 18, 2004, 01:07:19 am

Hi,

I was wondering if anyone here knew about the Noleen Chubby DH fork..6" travel. Back in the day, when I had my K2 Beast, I wanted that fork. So now they've reappeared on ebay really cheap. From what I heard they were using 'shim stacks' for their damping system while other fork companies still use cheap valving technology. Anyone have any info on this fork?? I've tried the K2 site but they only have info on the Chubby LT which is completely different. I remember (a long time ago) seeing info on this fork but I can't find it at all. I've search the web and found nothing.

Thanks a lot!
Chris

Hey Chris,
I just bought one of these chubby LT's off ediscount with 5 inches of travel.  It arrived earlier in the week boxed as new.  I'm no fork expert but if you have any questions I can try my best to answer them for you, or I could send you pics of the forks internals when I install it.  I'm heading away on my other bike (Yamaha SRV) for the weekend though, so will be out of touch for the next 3 days.
Cheers, [smiley=beer.gif]

Thanks for the reply...

The Chubby DH is actually different from the Chubby LT. The DH version has bigger tubing, 20mm axle, 6" of travel that apparently be bumped up to 7", oil and coil internals...and it weighs 8lbs.

I might have a lead on who made that fork or at least people who might know what's inside. Yeah, RST did make a some of the forks...they were the Chubby LT series. Thanks for looking though, I appreciate it.
