Boys and girls.. a little help
Need some advice on getting a replacement fork (drilled) for my track bike – basically, I need to know 1) what to get and 2) how to get it.
Head tube is 14.5cm and bottom to top including headset is 19cm. What I do know is I need a 1” threaded fork to fit 700 wheels, but don’t know what the minimum or maximum length of the steerer should be, the length of the thread and bla bla bla,
And more importantly, does anyone know where I can get one (ebay, brick lane, Jos and kiwicycles aside)

Nice 1

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

For syntax highlighting, surround the code block with three backticks:

Just like Github, a blank line must precede a code block.
