We are not expecting to get any more in stock.<br /> We usually discontinue an item when it is superseded by an alternative. Check out our site to see what's currently available or contact us to let us find you an alternative. </p> http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/topic.php?id=3602#post-40309 Wed, 07 Sep 2011 14:07:53 +0000 Kim 40309@http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/ <p>So you think it is just a waiting game then? Currently there are no road disc forks on their website.</p> <p>I would have though this might be a popular item with the rule changes on using disc brakes in CX competitions. It is only a matter of time before there are disc brakes on full-on road bikes. </p> http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/topic.php?id=3602#post-40306 Wed, 07 Sep 2011 13:58:26 +0000 steveo 40306@http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/ <p>I suspect they've discontinued the old Kaff stuff as they have a new Kaff coming this year. </p> http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/topic.php?id=3602#post-40304 Wed, 07 Sep 2011 13:55:51 +0000 Wilmington's Cow 40304@http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/ <p>???</p> <p>But you can pre-order it <a href="http://www.planet-x-bikes.co.uk/i/q/FOPXKV2/planet-x-kaffenback-2011-fork">here</a>... </p> http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/topic.php?id=3602#post-40302 Wed, 07 Sep 2011 13:43:40 +0000 Kim 40302@http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/ <p>@SRD just a wee <a href="http://www.kimharding.net/blog/?p=1685">altercation with a sleeping policeman</a> resulting in a fractured clavicle, nothing serious ;-)</p> <p>@anth The Kaff disc forks looks idea, shame they have been discontinued :-( </p> http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/topic.php?id=3602#post-40230 Wed, 07 Sep 2011 10:42:04 +0000 SRD 40230@http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/ <p>Kim - what's happened?

I've no experience of trying to get components from Norco, but am pleased with the fork (and the bike).

This has lead me to think about whether I should take the opportunity to change <a href="http://kimharding.net/bicycle/norco_volante.php">my Norco</a> to disc brakes. To do this I would need to change the forks, so any thoughts on 700c disc forks? </p>
