I suspect not - those forks have a 1.5" steerer and your frame will *probably* only take a 1.25" one.

Also, they may be a bit meaty for an XC orientated frame?

Those forks are 1.5" and your frame is 1 1/8" so no. CRC sometimes specify the size in the product title instead of the description.

1.5 steerer, so no off hand.
It maybe possible if your headset is a zero insertion with a 44mm internal diameter, but I'm not aware of specialized made frames like that ([url= http://blog.sidewayscycles.co.uk/2011/03/25/1-5-steerer-integrated-headset/ ]Info[/url])

What made you think plugging 160mm forking into a frame made for 120mm was a good idea anyway?

I'd put up another topic explaining what you've got, what you do with it and what you want to upgrade. Chances are you'll get offers from people selling and a shedload of advice to boot.
