Thinking of doing a bike build

Icyseanfitz

Hey lads,
thinking of building up a cube agree https://www.bike-discount.de/en/buy/cube-agree-c-62-disc-frame-carbon-n-white-637851 from the frame up.

Really struggling to find where I'd get a fork for disks though, any ideas where to look? No point buying a frame if I can't get a fork.

under 'product features' there's a link to a suggested compatible fork.

Unfortunately it's not available, I suppose I could get in a Chinese fork but I'd rather get something known

magicbastarder

ah, i didn't spot that.

no wonder the frame is so cheap, if you can't get a matching fork...

Possibly worth giving PlanetX a buzz, they have this on the website https://www.planetx.co.uk/i/q/FOPXLORO/planet-x-london-road-fork#reviewstab - no indication of the full spec but the Cube seems to take a fairly standard fork so it might possibly fit. At £99, in black, its not going to be super-light, but then it is a disc bike and you will inevitably face the cost v weight compromise and you could easily pay more than you will for the Frame. Pl-X have a nice Selcof fork too, but its £275 - not sure if it would work.

Yeah that planetx looks the job alright, to be honest I'd nearly be as well off to get a full planet X frame and fork as the cube can only be got in 60cm whereas the Cannondale Caad 10 I had previously was a 56cm and felt big even though I'm 6 foot.

How are planet X bikes regarded these days?

What are the steerers on those planet X forks? Cube frame take a Tapered 1 1/8" - 1 1/4"

Right got myself a frame BB standard is bb386, what kind off BB do I need to get if I want to run a sram force or red crankset?
