Wanted: 700c fork

Posted on
  • Hey everybody,
    I need a new fork:

    • 1" of course
    • 17cm steerer with ~4cm of thread
    • little fork rake or straight
    • for 700c wheels

    Would like a chromed fork but I am also open for coloured ones.
    Thanks,
    Gregor

  • 1" of course? are you crazy, took me ages to find a decent 1" fork! :) good luck boss

  • He said threaded, most threaded are 1", AHEAD are generally 1 1/8

  • Yes, thanks. Still, I think it will take me ages to find one..

  • threaded, fairs... missed that one... crap on me :)

  • quite a few nice 700c forks on the bay, been looking lately for a 27" one

  • er from the seemingly endless pile of "stuff" that never goes down....

    Track forks, undrilled in green, some chips in the paint, non lugged type, 185mm steerer, of which there's 950mm threaded £15 plus postage

    Never used, just kicked about in the garage

    I may just have a pair of carbon/alu threaded ones too.....a job to do - replace threaded for ahead forks in a carbon moncoque frame

  • How dya manage to fit 950mm of thread on a 185mm steerer?

  • by magic? should be 95mm threaded....must stick to inches....

  • Ahhh, sorry forgot to mention I am looking for a drilled one.
    Also would prefer a lugged one, but that's not a must.
    Thanks El!

  • Well, you could always drill Diablo's proposed fork - £15 is a bargain, and EL Diablo is a good person to do business with in my experience.
    My Dad has about 6 pairs of forks in the house, not sure if he wants to sell any though (he enjoys hording bits and pieces), i'll ask him and get back to you if he does.

  • He definitely is!
    ..just bought brakes from him & am very happy.
    I still 'fear' drilling, although this may be just an issue in my head.

    If you find one, this would be great. Thanks for looking!

  • drilling forks is precisely cock all effort or worry , if buying I'd drill them for you.

  • buy a road fork if you want to use a brake, leave the undrilled forks for those who will want them undrilled :-)

  • drilling forks is precisely cock all effort or worry , if buying I'd drill them for you.

    let me think about it! although max has a point

  • remember you can get tight road forks with no mudguard/pannier eyelets, competition type stuff
