Anyone converted 1" forks to 1 1/8 steering tube ?

<< < (3/7) > >>

Discostu:
Tin can size headtubes!!  :LolLolLolLol:

monkeybat:
Holding out for the right forks hmmmm, I dont think that will ever happen. These are the forks im after.


And these are the 1" steering tube models.


Now do you see.

Dannywhac:
So the late 97/98 forks? They will crop up fella - you could try a wanted over at the Museum, or keep scouring here/eBay - I've found forks that I didn't think I'd get after a couple of months.

Those 'copy' forks are 1" ahead by the looks (could just be the piccy) - not threaded and they've got mudguard tabs. You'll need a 1" ahead stem for em.

Discostu:
To be honest I would still wait for the correct ones to pop up. And they will!!  You can put other ones on there for now. But I wouldn't fit those 1" ones. The more people that know you want a set of those forks the better it is. As rad users are normally good on pm'ing you if they come across something.  I have asked for stuff on here several times and come up trumps whether it's been an item of another member or pointed to a sale on another forum or eBay. Good luck with your search mate :daumenhoch:

I will keep an eye out! We could turn this into a competition. Who on rad can find them quickest!

I think it would be good to pick up all the info from both threads and put it under headset conversions. Then it can have a sticky on it. As it does pop up now and again. All the info on all the conversions in one thread.  :daumenhoch:
