Insight: Shadow Conspiracy – Captive Fork
Over the last couple of years, forks have changed a fair amount. Heat-treating started becoming more and more popular, drop out sizes became smaller in size while allowing plenty of peg clearance for improved grinding, steeper offsets have become increasingly popular thanks to nose manuals, hang fives and more front end tricks getting popular, legs have been tapered and butted, made wider to fit fat 20×2.35″ tires and plenty of other small changes to make them better.
One fork in particular has been standing out to me for a little over a year now, and that’s the Captive fork from The Shadow Conspiracy that not only features a lot of those things I listed above, but a one of a kind enclosed drop out with inserts allowing for multiple offsets being the biggest thing that makes this one stand out.
This design has really been on my check list for quite a while of things to find out about, so I decided it was time I get ahold of Ronnie Bonner to find out just what this fork is all about, what went into the design and how they got it done! Take a look at the full interview below!

Sneak Peek: Cult – Investment Cast Sect Fork
Spotted this over on The Merged. The other day, Chase DeHart dropped a little sneak peek on Instagram of the new investment cast Sect fork he’s testing out from Cult. Based on the photo, it looks like they have butted legs along with the cast drop outs that almost appear to be a little oversized for extra strength in the photo. I may be wrong and these are just prototypes, but if it has a logo on it, there’s a good chance these are super close to being done. Start saving your money.
