Road forks on track frames

Hi all. Instead of drilling a track fork I might be able to locate a road fork from the same brand - pinarello - for my track frame. Does anyone know what the difference in general is between the 2 forks - apart from the no brake thing? Is there a difference in the rake? I know road frames have more 'relaxed' geometry, but isn't this created by the angle of the head tube? I just want my Pin to be nice and tight (with a brake) rather then having relaxed road geometry.

Thanks!

depending on both the forks in question, the road one will have a longer rake.

if it's a tight road race fork, it'll be hardly noticable.

plenty of people do it

Track forks are very 'tight' there is usually a shallow inset part on the underside of the crown where the tyre passes through.

Road forks have more clearance, and more swept legs. The 'racier' the fork is, the less youll notice of course.

I replaced the track forks on my Electron with road forks for the same reason (wanted to run a brake).

I went for a pair of Easton EC90s, worked out fine, didn't seem to be a great deal of difference in the rake.

• they look a little like ladies legs which is nice.

Oh and I run ITM Millenium forks on my Piranello track.

I'd be interested in making an offer for your old undrilled forks if you're changing around.
Alternatively I can swap you a set of 1" road carbon forks (not ITM).

fiddy's got pinarello
