Title: UKBIKECO FBR Forks question
Post by: oldschool rider 1969 on January 25, 2017, 03:07 PM
Hi Guys, anybody know what size pre load bold I need 24 or 25, The forks are the same as the Bada Boom forks and I need a new one but can't see any info online regarding these forks.

Thanks.

Until very recently only Odyssey used M24 caps, a few more bike co's have adopted it now though  :daumenhoch:

Thanks guys,
I have just measured my original one with a vernier caliper albeit a not very good one and get 24mm so I'm guessing it's a H24 that is needed that would atleast make sense.
 The problem is living in Mallorca and ordering stuff in UK is a pain in the ass If I make a mistake. I run a front brake and want a top cap with extra opening for brake cable and there really isn't a great selection out there and I quite fancy the Odyssey one but of course it's also the most expensive bugger out there, anyway unless anybody knows any better I recon I'll just go ahead and order it and hope my measurment was correct.

If your forks are the same as the badda boom forks they did it's M(H)25 you need, as I said only Odyssey only used 24 for a long time. I also found an add online for the badda boom forks that show the thread as 25 x1.5  :daumenhoch:
