Don't know anything about the forks I've got TBH. I'm in EV

Ill take some measurements of the bit that goes into the headset tube...

Apols for the sh*te photo's. My DC's crap at close ups. Or I just don't know how to use it propoerly  ::)

Step by step of what I'm doing....



1 Forks (head tube) are 16cm long. Head tube is 12.2cm long



2 gyro lower cable stop



3 headset cup/bearings



4 headset adjusting cone



5 headset adjusting cone washer



6 gyro bearing unit



7 gyro upper cable stop



8 Top of forks (yellow paint). no room for headset locknut



When it's just the headset fitted the headset locknut screws on about half way

I think I'm rogered....

Anyone know of any forks that would be longer than 16cm for the head tube?  ???

I believe the 5" head tube will narrow the field down a bit  :(

I really want a "gyro" fitted so it's either new forks or an alternative "gyro" but don't know if I'll run into the same problems with other "gyro's" such as the ACS, Oryg or SinMaster  ???

Thanks for any help

Well yeah looks like your forks are too short .. and if you can't get a gyro on then i'm afraid you'll be buggered for any type of gyro  :-\

fugazi:
You need to get the correct forks, even without the gyro I bet you've got a job to get the top lock nut on, I'm in MK but away until middle of next week but feel free to pm me if you need me to come have a look  :daumenhoch:
