Nice old school fork for Vector bars?

<< < (3/4) > >>

dinglem:
Check out my WHEELS Mini thread; my Vector Mini bars are shown fitting my Tange forks....

Jonny:
Just checked it out, nice read that pal and interesting.  We've got similar idea's.  I'm have mine candy turquoise and already got the chrome print decals on clear backings.  Having seen your photos now I'm not sure if I should do the second option of vector bars and forks left in chrome.

i have these elf mini forks that may solve the problem ?

Sorry for not noticing this post earlier Jonny.

VDC Chimp fork steer tube measurements are....

1" (25.4mm) O.D.
13/16" (21mm) I.D.
5-3/8" (136mm) steer tube length (bottom of crown race seat to top of threads)

Have you tried cleaning out the inside of the steer tube??
I have tried measuring several stems and fork for you and they all measure up the same.

If the FreeAgent forks are VDC made, it's unlikely they're a different size tubing.
As for fork choices for overall size, try looking for a set off an Expert size frameset as the steerer is std but the legs are slimmer.

I'd be tempted to ream out the FreeAgent forks as we're only talking 0.6mm wall thickness difference.

Forgot to ask...   Have the Vector's been rechromed??
