Great condition 1" threaded steel fork. Acquired from another member on lfgss but sadly does not fit my new frame.

As the title suggests, fits a 700c wheel and is chrome. 152mm steerer with 15mm of thread.

Looking to sell for the price I paid, so £30.

Willing to meet anywhere in Central London or will post for a small fee.

Thanks,

Jon

Sorry carson, just a little bit too lengthy I'm afraid. After 165mm steerer max. Cheers though.

Managed to acquire a 152mm fork - now after something in the region of 160mm - any one out there have anything for sale?

Understood... I find myself in this situation after already having one damaged fork (although the damage was not because of braking stress) so the last thing I want is this new fork to pack in.

Will make a hole when I get my hands on a drill.. At the moment I only have a 3 mile commute and tend to backpedal for 95% of the time that I need to slow down so it's not getting a hiding..

Thanks again for all your help!

Thanks all for the suggestions

I've gone with slotting the recessed nut inside the fork which seems to be holding up at the moment - partly because I haven't got a decent drill to hand so a quick fix will do for the time being.

Although if any loosening arises I'll be making that 8mm hole for sure.

Thanks again,

Jon

Hi all,

Just wondering if anyone has had any bad experiences with regards to drilling an 8mm hole in the back of an old steel fork to accommodate a recessed nut?

Is it better just to buy a new brake caliper that has a longer thread and stick to traditional methods of fitting?

Hypothetically speaking, if I chose to drill, is it better to use a front caliper or a rear caliper and then a longer nut? Just trying to gather some ideas around which would best maintain the structural rigidity of the fork.

Any help would be appreciated and I hope these don't seem like stupid questions.

Cheers,

Jon

CasaSteve - I need a 15.5cm steerer 1' diameter, I'm afraid 12.5cm may be a tad short..

Would love Cinelli/Colnago/Bianchi but will settle for an item around the 60 quid or less mark.

Dibs on the fork if not sold - I need a threaded fork asap!

Can anyone recommend a cheaper alternative to Colnago?

are the forks still available?

Just need a roller cable if anyone knows any going! mine snapped
