Hi,

Looking for some replacement forks for an old tandem - has 27" wheels, need 175 mm on the steerer. Does anyone have anything lying around?

Thanks for looking

Ah. Just tried Ben's above and turns out I need 1 1/8". So try again - 175mm steerer, 1 1/8" forks for 27" wheels. Anyone?

Thanks

is there such a thing? i thought 1 1/8" steerers were for a more modern a-head set up. not heard of a 27" wheel used with that kind of set up. could be wrong.

It's quite old - was told it's 1940s or so - and is built like a tank. The above fork is way too thin, and the diameter across the headtube is 300mm. Seems like I might be needing a specialist...

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
