specs for a 1990 Bridgestone MB-5 fork?
I've finally replaced my MB5 with a Trek Fuel 98, and I'm going to
rebuild my MB5 into a street/cross bike. I made the mistake of putting front suspension on the MB5 (which did give my arms a relief, but totally screwed up the steering/handling). I made the double mistake of losing the original fork. Does anybody know the exact specs of that fork-- 1" 1-1/8"? Rake? Size? (140mmx50mm? 170mmx50mm?) My frame is a 46cm (which is about 18" from center of bb to top of seat tube). I'm pretty sure the fork was a Tange CrMo, but I'd love to put on a something lighter like a Ritchey Logic-- as long as the specs are identical. The handling with the original fork was incredible. I'd love any other suggestions on components. I plan on using it for some road riding, possibly a road triathlon (I've only done mtb triathlons, but I may do some on-road later), and perhaps as a cross bike. It currently has XT (1991) front/rear derailleur, cranks, rear hub (on mavic wheel). The front wheel is stock. Tires are huge WTB 2.4.x26. Brakes are Avid SD5 V-brakes. It also has top-mount XT-thumbshifters. Any info would be much appreciated! |
