P5 three fork vs P3 fork
Quote | Reply
Hi Brains Trust, I’m just after some advice on whether it’s worth while swapping out the fork on my 2013 P3 for the fork from the P5 three- the UCI legal version.
I haven’t seen the P5 forks IRL but the shape doesn’t seem too different to the P3, so seemingly the Tri version would be the better upgrade?

Same fork. Fits both the p5-3 and the np3 frames.

Next races on the schedule: none at the moment

There's no good reason to upgrade the p3c or 2014+ p3 to the p5-3 fork. My original fork here was cracked when a car tapped me and this was the first fork I found so I tossed it on, but it wasn't any functionally different than the original. For the 2014+ p3, if you go with the p5-6 fork you can get a bit creative with the front end but I wouldn't go that route on the p3c like mine.

Thanks for the replies everyone, it’s much appreciated. I’m not sure I’m ready to make the jump to the P5 six fork as without the Magura brake it looks a bit weird.
Keeping the original and putting on a tririg delta aero cover might be the better looking option.

If you ultimately do want to do the P5-6 fork, I just happen to have one NIB uncut that I could let go of.
