  • It's a custom Feather fork, am sure he could build one for you if you had the patience/money...

    2 things the as a kid I don't have lol
    I'll stick with the Gazelle fork for now.

  • Love those straight forks

  • Anyone know what the fork is?

    not the same but similar. think Tommmmmmmmm and rogan have them aswell so could be worth a PM to see how they are

  • Thanks Bonor but it's drilled :(

  • Long lost Brothers LoL

  • Don't you run a brake anyway? Drilled doesn't make them any less nice.

    my forks are drilled (although wont clear a caliper with 25c tyres)

  • I run a brake during the winter and because I ride my bike everyday don't want to fuck up knees etc...
    Soon I'll have an SS MTB and a different beater too so I can alternate between those and have my current bike set up as HHSB/Tarck.

  • 30mm rake is nice and tight to keep the track geo.

  • I think mine are 25mm.

  • Long lost Brothers LoL

    not really, the first one's a track bike.

  • that's just silly, also you sure? They're TT forks not track

  • i was referring to the color and lugs but Sure

    i hated no rake for the road... toe lap sucks donkey nutz

    Had a Gitane track steel that i gave to my Uncle a few christmas ago

  • toe lap sucks donkey nutz

  • Oh well, i agree to disagree...

    my old mount couple of years back

  • that's just silly, also you sure? They're TT forks not track

    Nope, they're Gazelle track forks.

    Hell yeah!

  • I need me some tight clearance forks with less rake!

  • Oh well, i agree to disagree...

    Pedal overlap is overrated non-issue.

    If you're riding fast and you get pedal overlap you're turning your bars too much.

    If you're doing poser trackstands outside tesco and you stack it, then fair enough.*

    I wear size 48EU shoes and get pedal overlap on my roadbike and trackbike, I can even get bloody heel strike on my rear derailleur if I try.

    Worrying about pedal overlap isn't a reason not to ride a track bike and ride a slack conversion, especially when you have a selection of 1000's of nice frames to choose from at your size/height.

    *has happened

  • and yeah, if you're using Zinn 200mm cranks, no wonder you're finding it tricky

  • You do have massive bloody feet apollo!

  • ^^I wouldn't ride that without a full face on..

  • Why?

  • Someone's got sweaty hands

  • ^^I wouldn't ride that without a full face on..

    Yeah man, why?
