Frequently Asked Questions

• How does the No.9 MTN Boost LT Fork convert a suspension bike into a trail-to-gravel machine?

  The No.9 MTN Boost LT is a rigid carbon replacement fork with a 500mm axle‑to‑crown, 1.5" tapered steerer (280mm uncut), 51mm rake, and Boost 110x15mm thru‑axle, giving clearance for up to 29x3.0" or 27.5x3.0" tires. It reduces rotating mass and adds two three‑pack cargo mounts and internal dynamo routing for bikepacking setups, while including the Whisky No.9 thru‑bolt and compression plug; note it lacks fender mounts and is spec’d for a max rotor of 180mm and a max rider weight of about 240 lbs.
• What bikepacking and utility features do Whisky forks and handlebars offer?

  Whisky integrates practical mounting solutions—multiple three‑pack cargo bosses on No.9 forks and accessory mounting-friendly handlebar shapes—plus internal dynamo routing on select forks for lighting and charging. Handlebars like the Milhouse provide wide leverage and a 70mm rise for comfortable, load‑bearing positions, and many bars are tuned for vibration damping to reduce rider fatigue on long, mixed‑surface rides.
• What compatibility checks should I make before fitting Whisky stems, rims, or forks to my bike?

  Confirm axle spacing (Boost vs non‑Boost), wheel diameter (No.9 rims and wheelsets in 27.5" sizes), steerer type and length (No.9 fork uses a 1.5" tapered steerer, 280mm uncut), tire clearance (up to 29x3.0" on the No.9 fork), and stem clamp diameters (31.8mm or 35mm options for No.7 stems). Also verify fork axle‑to‑crown and rake against your frame’s geometry, max rotor and rider weight limits for the fork, and that rims are tubeless‑ready if you plan to run tubeless setups.
