| | Steel 1" threaded forks 700c Anybody have any they are looking to get rid of? I'm not bothered about colour. What I am looking for is something without a hugh amount of rake and drilled. It's for a shitty conversion, but the original forks had a problem with the Crown Race and it would cost me more to fix that than but some cheap steel ones. Steerer tube must be 180mm + xx |

| | I a set from here a couple of weeks ago, they've just dispatched it as it's now in stock. So I'd grab one while you can - only £15, free P+P too. http://velokit.co.uk/cart_productdet...PRODUCTID=3411 Currently at Royal Mail holding office at the mo, I'll take a photo when I get them tomorrow morning as the one on the site is pretty small. |

| | Well, I just received them and they're totally clean and look pretty damn good for £15 TBH. Loads of thread so, will pretty much fit any size headtube out of the box I think. My ONLY issue with them is that I've found the drilled hole for my brake calliper a bit smaller than the one on my old (now bent to shit for a car) raleigh forks, therefore I cannot fit the nut for it into there. http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v1...o/Image020.jpg http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v1...o/Image021.jpg http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v1...o/Image022.jpg http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v1...o/Image023.jpg I'm not sorry for the pic quality, I can't be arsed with digital cameras or wanky flashy camera phones. My options are either: 1 - Go at it with a round file (which I have in my possession) 2 - Get my LBS to drill the hole slightly larger in diameter (while they chop a bit of the top off anyway) Either way, I'm going to have to ride a 14 speed without a front brake tomorrow. Luckily there are no descents on my commute. I had to chase the order a couple of times, but I was fine waiting TBH, I know they're not CRS or Wiggle, just wanna give the little guys some custom. In fact it's strange how the bigger places don't always sell what you want (even though CRS seems to have everything), yet the little businesses can sort the odd bit out for you no problem. |
