Ham fisted 'seating' of a new headset crown race using correct tool and hammer but on concrete slab rather than piece of wood resulted in me completely knackering a drop out in the fork....so need new forks. 😳
So, any recommendations?
I need straight steerer, disc mount plus mudguard eyes.
What do you all suggest?
I will be more careful when fitting the crown race on any new forks.....
Thanks!
I always heat crown races up (usually on the kitchen hob) and drop them straight on- non of this hammering malarky!
Good excuse to buy some Lynsky Endurance carbon (alu steerer) forks-been running them on my Norco gravel bike for awhile.
I have had those Lynskey forks on my Croix de Fer for a couple of years as it happens so was going to recommend them also!
Not to hijack, but does anyone know of anything like the Lynksey but with a mid fork eyelet?
Bontrager Satellite forks - if you can find them!
I actually have a pair of steel Genesis forks for sale in the classifieds if that's any use? [url= http://singletrackmag.com/forum/topic/clearout-steel-road-forks-stems-bars-seatposts-etc ]here[/url]
Edit: no disc mount sorry.
Ive had some Kimesis dc37 forks on my winter/spare/commuter/cx bike for over 4 years.
Been faultless.
Genesis sell CDF forks seperately for a reasonable price - any Genesis dealer can get them for you.
Get a ring spanner on the dropout and bend it back. They are steel after all....
