Stupid question re replacement forks
My machine currently has joke suspension front forks. They appear to have a
1" steerer. Is it possible to replace them with a new set of rigid forks with a 1.125" steerer? I realise that if this is the case I'll need to replace the races. -- Regards Alex The From address above is a spam-trap. The Reply-To address is valid |

I realise that if this is the case I'll need to replace the races. Very unlikely. If your frame was made for a 1.25" steerer and then has adapter collars to take a 1" steerer then you can take out and throw away the collars. However this is rare. -- (Simon Brooke) http://www.jasmine.org.uk/~simon/ /-\ You have discovered a security flaw in a Microsoft product. You |-| can report this issue to our security team.
