Wanted: Straight 700c 1" forks

So last night at Trixie Dix I learnt to bar spin, however my curvy forks mean the clearance is tight and that 9 times out of 10 the wheel hits my foot and I end up on the floor, ouch.

Does anyone have some 700c straight forks up for grabs? to fit a 1" headset and a quill stem?

Maybe then I'll even be able to do it with my normal wheel rather than putting a 650c on the bike, and even better, maybe my knees will stop getting so grazed.

they belong to Rincewind.

Cheers,

Just spied those myself, now everyone else on the forum, you just keep yourself away from bidding on them ;-)

Curved vs straight forks will make no difference to toeverlap and spinnability if the rake is the same... What you need is a frame with a rather slack headtube angle ie a trick bike and a fork with little rake. Not trying to teach you to suck eggs, but make sure you know what you're spending your money on.

ahoy! the forks cant bar spin, there is no way to remove toe overlap except for ze above, which will only reduce it really... you just gotta get used to it. however for other bike they will be lovely, they are much lighter than my 531 forks and most importantly look sooooo nice.

BTW, there are some dolan forks on ebay, leave them alone! THERE BROKEN! and the seller said they were cursed... so i will buy them to save anyone else being sad if they get them instead..... =D but serious, i will unleash some rage if i dont get them! want new build powder coated now!

As mentioned above, many straight forks have the same rake as a curved fork but with a different aesthetic. That ebay pair won't change dididly squat for you...
