So i guess the title says it all, i am looking for a pair on cyclocross forks, touring forks, hybrid forks. In short any forks with cantilever mounts!

A-head describes a headset system not a type of fork.

A threaded 1" fork will work in an ahead setup if the steerer is long enough to give your stem a clamping area.

Just a tip to help you find some suitable forks quicker :)

am well aware of that, but technically it is an a-head headset, so therefore a-head forks.do't be a pedant.

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:
![](https://www.google.co.uk/images/srpr/logo4w.png)
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.
