looking at fitting some sus fork to the lads beinn26, its one of the older ones pre large and small sizing and I think form memory its a 1" steerer. Anyone done this and if so what forks did you use and was it worth it. Ideally will have v brake mounts.

also anyone done this to a beinn 24 as well?

Why don't you ring Islabikes? They will give you the correct advice on steerer and length.

Meself, I'd fit a carbon fork from eXotic, they ride so smooth that you don't really need boing and they are nice and light, which matters on kids' bikes.

The standard Islabikes alloy fork is quite stiff.
