Wow!
Who know changing a fork cause such a ruckus?
I rode the Wankster to work on Friday and was stopped by another bike commuter at the bike shed. He openly laughed at me a said that as I used to be a bike mechanic he thought much better of me. Why? Because;
You’ve got the forks on backwards,
They are far too long and make the handling dangerous,
The stresses of a disc brake are too great for the frame.
I just replied oh ok.
Where to start?
Cotic RH side brake fork.
The longer fork gives almost the same headtube/seat tube angles as their Sondor gravel bike. The handling has change, but it’s fine.
I think the welds on 1 1/8 Ali bike are up to the job.
