86' Fat Chance what fork ?
Hey out there, I (telemarkjim) got a 1986 Fat Chance MTB with a rigid fork.
I need to know what would be a good/great suspension fork for my bike. Its got a 1"x 140mm steerer tube. I just outfitted it with all new components and like the ride but the trails are really bumpy.

Thanks. telmarkjim _ Unless the bike was designed for the higher rise of a suspension fork, you'll really mess up the low speed handling with a suspension fork. The 1 inch headtube size is also a problem, pretty much everything is 1 1/8th in the MTB world. _ Your best bet might be a suspension stem. You can find the Softride ones on Ebay relatively cheap. _ Booker C.
