  • I haven't found the original fork flex but then again I just ride it. Not chuck it down stairs n what not!

    it's one of those thing you won't notice until you tried a different fork out really.

    (and I rode it as a fixed wheel roadie).

  • Yeah, I wanted a carbon fork on it. Not really for any reason but struggled to find one that had the look and you could mount a brake on.

    I know what your saying tho! It did ride well at the minidrome I will give it that

  • what kind of brakes?

    You can get second hand fork for less, I got the same Easton as Austin for a lots less than asking price, the downside is that it's second hand;

  • Its more there isn't much in the 2nd hand market. I was after a alpina but they all seem to be brakeless recently and you can't drill them.
    I thought I had found a cervelo carbon fork but it was 1" steerer. grrrr
    Just gonna keep looking.

  • what fork are you using now?

  • The clusterfork is lighter than the original fork? What are you on scoble? No way..

  • 1100g on my scale, I reckon the original weight similar...

    Cyclocross fork are recommended due to the length being closer to the original, track/road fork will lower the front end a LOTS, it'll make a noticable difference.

    You'd need at least 415mm length.

  • found an og fork! fuck yeahhzzzz.

  • excellent stuff Joe.

  • ed that is one good-looking bike

  • Nice work man, where in the end did you track as set down?

  • MAX has one that he's willing to part with.

  • il probably go with something like a gatorskin, i trust gatorskins.

    i won't be doing anything like that either apart from the odd curb here and there.

    if u trust gator skin go for a 28c hardshell for the back its pretty good strong and i dont think the weight really matter
