1 1/8th fork conversion on my 91 Sport
ED209:
Finally got my 99 Haro Mirra 540 Air back from those idiots Yodel who lost it sending it to Wales :daumenhoch: so I had some Haro 1 1/8th forks to use.
Decided to move the 94 Sport on so it was back to the neon lime 91 Sport and time for the fork conversion.
Thought that there was no way it would work out but it turned out to be easy :)
Read over the info that James Voivod had pointed out and info from Discostu and Gra The Ruler and did it in about half an hour.
The only thing I needed that I didn't have was an extra set of bearings as there isn't enough in one race to fill up the bearing cup once you take them out of the race... I probably need 2/3 more bearings in each cup but once it bedded in and I re-tightened it all it has been sweet.
Having nice fat fork dropouts and chunky forks is a plus with the obvious extra of a stem thats more dependable and doesn't come loose when I ride :daumenhoch:
Thanks to all who helped with info and parts on this ( thanks to Dordy for some Haro forks and a headset :daumenhoch: )
