I have this fork fitted to a titanium Audax frame . Its 17 years old and done quite a few mile . Probably a good idea to replace it . Any one know the offset of this fork , from memory 45 mm . Google has failed so far , 378MM axel to crown , mudguards eyelets ,aluminium crown and 1" /1/8" steerer tube. thanks Colin

Is that not the fork referred to as having been subject to recall in GruB’s sales thread?

No mine has an alloy steerer and different numbers on label . lots of recall information on internet but not offset . I think I will still feel happier after all these years replacing it ,even though its a good one .

I bought the Van Nicholas ADX fork as a replacement for my recalled Kinesisbikes UK fork:
Length: 376mm (axle to crown), Rake: 45mm

Looking an at old catalogue from 2012, all their forks, including their Audax forks, had a 45mm rake. I would make really good sense if all their Audax forks had a 45mm rake, since they offered frames and forks separately, and AFAIK sometimes used the same forks for newer generations of frames.
I kept my old fork as a kind of tool afterwards. Filed off the "lawyers lips" and is using it for quick testing for play in reassembled hubs and similar.

Thank you interested . I will probably put a steel fork on , some thing like a SJS cycles Audax one .
