Langster 06 Carbon Forks?

I have replaced the fork in my 2006 Langster with ITM 4ever. Great improvement lots of comfort (700*25 tyres help also). About 300g lighter.

Fork washer fit perfectly to new fork, headset no problem just add some quality grease. The only problem was that it comes little bit wider than the headtube. I cut two rings from old tubes and put them at the lower end of the headtube covered them with vinyl black tape and perfect aesthetic results, plus protection from the elements. I have it now for more than a year (10,000k so far) no problem.

They're err like forks. Hold the front wheel.. make those turney things happen..

I've not really noticed them so I guess you could say they do their job, they're transparent in their operation. No bad things to report but they don't make me breakfast either so nothing to blow my load over ya know? :)

To be honest after crash bandicoot murtle had 'em and now chunky ol' moi using 'em.. I thought they would've failed by now :)

They're supposed to be pretty hot things. With a lot of dampening, but stiff in all of the right places so great for sprinting. Never tried some though.

Sorry to resurrect an old thread...I am thinking of doing the same to my 06 langster. Don't want to spend much so ideally want to go with a second hand fork where the steerer will already have been cut. Does anyone know what the minimum steerer length would need to be for a 54 cm bike. I'm not brave enough to take apart my bike in case I screw it up.

Cheers

polybikeuser has the cuntster and it's chopped. 31trum might also know the length of the steerer he had on it.

measure from the bottom of the frame where it meets the fork, up to the top of the stem, take away 5mm.....or there abouts

thanks hippy/31trum - i'll try that. now to decide which forks (leaning towards second hand ouzo pros)
