Like the title says! Silver or black would be great or any other shade that you think would go well with purple.

100mm spacing please
drilled for brakes
38 or more rake
Comoly or higher

It’s for my soma rush size 51, if this helps in any way?

Thank you!

What tyre clearance are you after - 38c?

what is the length of your head tube?

38c would be perfect! Head tube length is 100mm.

Thanks

Do you mean 28c? 38c on a threaded steel fork for 700c wheels is pretty volumy - I’d guess you’d need to be looking for something with canti studs?
What is the largest tyre you can get in the frame?

I’ve got some threaded forks but no larger tyres to try out in it… they will take a 27c open pave (measuring 28mm)

Thanks for your response!

My frame can take 35c max i’d say, in the rear! So I am just trying to fit the same in the front. I mentioned 38 so that I can fit 35 comfortably without worrying about the tyre being unsafely tight fit.

I am not looking for canti per se but if I have to go for that route then that’s that.

Cheeky bump! Sorry if these bumps are against the rules or sth. I will happily delete the thread. Don’t mean to be a nuisance.

Formatting Help

Don't worry about formatting, just type in the text and we'll take care of making sense of it. We will auto-convert links, and if you put asterisks around words we will make them bold.

Tips:

Create headers by underlining text with ==== or ----

To *italicise* text put one asterisk each side of the word

To **bold** text put two asterisks each side of the word

Embed images by entering:

That's the hard one: exclamation, square brackets and then the URL to the image in brackets.

* Create lists by starting lines with asterisks

1. Create numbered lists by starting lines with a number and a dot
