WTD : 26" v-brakes fork

Posted on
  • Alas, the steerer of the P2 I bought from @Alban on here is 1 cm too short for me to use a standard ahead stem.

    I'm thus after another fork :

    • for 26" wheels
    • v-brakes
    • with mudguard mounts
    • axle-to-crown around 400 mm, give or take 10 mm (I just don't want suspension corrected forks, basically)
    • and, most importantly, a steerer that's at least 22 cm long.

    Now for the difficult part : no unicrown with curved blades. Unicrown with straight blades is perfectly fine, anything else (lugged, segmented, etc...) is also good, straight blades or not.

    (aaand I live in France, so shipping would be necessary).

    Thanks in advance!

  • Damn that is annoying! Maybe you’ve thought of this but I had a similar issue before and solved it with a low stack headset (cane creek 40 or something) and a low stack bmx stem (typically 30mm instead of the usual 40mm I think?)

  • Current headset (KCNC PT1767D) has the same stack as a Cane Creek 40 (28 mm, doesn't seem there's a lot of variations with EC headsets unfortunately), and I do have a BMX stem installed.

    Unfortunately this means the bike is slightly too short, and my handlebar selection too limited. At least - thanks to you! - the bike is being used, it's just that I'm not comfy yet!

    If I got a zero stack headset cover machined I could mayyybe get 32 mm of steerer above the headset (28 mm currently with everything stock), but from what I understand it still wouldn't be enough to use a standard ahead stem safely?

  • Stridsland fork?

  • It fits all my criteria, however price is steep, and I'm not a huge fan of the look. I would buy one second-hand though, if someone has that!

    edit : Just saw you had one for sale. Unfortunately at that price I'm gonna get destroyed by taxes and transporter fees. Good luck with the sale!

  • Bump, still looking!

  • 1” or 1 1/8”?
