Facebook Twitter LinkedIn Pinterest Bluesky Threads I have a trek marlin 5 gen 3 with a ML frame and 29" wheels. I was hoping for a 51mm rake. Link to the fork and bike will be below. also open to any suggestions about a different one but need to be around same price point.

Rokos_Bicycle on April 21, 2025 2:37 am Short answer is yes, it looks like the SKU you’re after is 710845845123; 29″, QR axle, straight steerer.
ARX7 on April 21, 2025 2:52 am Given you’re at the low end you’d probably get something better by on selling your bike and getting the marlin 7 or similar
