With more than 40 years of designing and building bicycles and components dedicated to adventures that go beyond limits or expectations, Tom created the new Ritchey WCS Steel Adventure Fork for those of us that are unbound by the constraints of riding-surface type, love the challenge of seemingly insurmountable distances, and free from pre-conceived notions of what a modern fork should be.
The new WCS Steel Adventure Fork has been meticulously engineered and painstakingly built to perform as only a steel fork can - compliant yet confident; strong yet supple; forgiving yet razor sharp. Featuring a 1-1/8” straight steerer for just the right amount of welcome compliance, this fork delivers premium comfort, offers practical features, and gives riders a truly memorable experience on all manner of cycling adventures.
With your desire to ride far and long in any condition or under any circumstance, the Steel Adventure Fork features rack mounts for packs full of gear and a fender mount to keep the grime off you and your bike. The three multi-purpose mounts on the legs give you more places to stow the necessities you gather at the last cafe. The WCS Steel Adventure Fork also fits up to 27.5 x 2.6” or 29” x 2.6” tires (depending on tire make and model) – making this fork the ultimate addition to any rig assembled for the purpose of seeking, discovering, and enjoying adventure.

Just above the 'Add to basket' button you will see the item availability. We have 3 different availability stock flags on our website which will determine how long an order will take to arrive.
In Stock in Kircaldy Shop
This means that we physically have the item in the shop. If you choose one of our Priority Delivery options then you can expect your order within 1 to 3 working days. If you choose a Non Priority Delivery service you can expect your order within 3 to 5 working days.
In Stock at Supplier
Our stock system is linked in with our suppliers stock system which allows us to offer a wider product range, but does increase the delivery times a little. If you choose one of our Priority Delivery options you can expect the order within 3 to 5 working days. If you choose Non Priority Delivery you can expect the order within 5 to 10 working days, although this is completely determined by the speed of the item coming from our supplier.
Out of Stock
This means that both ourselves and our suppliers are out of stock of the item. Although the website won't allow you to order something with this stock flag you are more than welcome to contact us with the Product ID. We may be able to back order it for you, or at least see if we can provide an estimated restocking date.
If you need an order quicker than this please email us with the product ID to find out if this is possible to avoid disappointment.
What about bikes?
We aim to dispatch all bikes within 5 working days, but during busy periods we may have a few builds in the queue and could take a bit longer. If this is a concern or you need the bike before a certain date then please email us to make sure we can achieve this and avoid any disappointment. We will email you the day of dispatch and you can expect the bike the following day. If you provide a mobile number on your order the courier will also send you a text message 1 hour before delivery so you know exactly what time to expect it.
Who do you use to send orders?
We use Royal Mail for most of your orders unless they are bulky or valuable, in which case we will send the order using DPD. You can also specify DPD at checkout if you prefer to have your item delivered with an hours notice in the form of email or text from the courier.
