I did a mistake a bought a wrong size fork for my Mondraker Chaser+
As a machinist and hobby designer, I first found the right lower bearing, then I found some measurements and off course did my own measuring.
And I finally got to milling the part and got it made :)
Damn it's nice with a new fork.

Hey man, nice Work! I have the same problem on my bike tho. I got a Rockshox Gold RL 35 29" 150mm Fork 1.1/8" - 1.5" Tapered and bought a Rockshox Lyrik Ultimate 29" but didn't see that it was 1.1/8" - 1.8" Tapered, so i also need an adapter for it to fit :/. Would it be possible to get in contact with you for a little help? Idk if i could use your cad files or need to measure my own adapter.
 
Hi! I have the same issue, could you help me with the file? Thank you very much, and nice work!

Great job!

Looks like I"m new to the "purchased the wrong fork club". When the fork was labelled "For EMTB" I didn't realize it really meant 1.8" taper...

Do you have a CAD or STL file that you can share?
