Nick Harding Posted April 22, 2008 Report Share Posted April 22, 2008 After almost ordering some new forks and a V brake, i remembered that its clearly not going to fit. I had totally forgotten about the fact I was ridding a 24" frame.Guess I must still be used to 26". I have seen riders with 26" forks on 24" frames run with rim brake. Is there some sort of adapters? or is it a re-welding the brake mount job?Cheers Nick Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mat Smith! Posted April 22, 2008 Report Share Posted April 22, 2008 an inch of space might make it abit flexy? but i dunno, i know that boon cos his smart guys re-welded, well im pretty sure i heard about it.Matx Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

CurtisRider Posted April 23, 2008 Report Share Posted April 23, 2008 i lowered the v mounts on my forks, and welded them on the back to be fashionable (apparently helps with power but i didn't notice the difference), they were wicked Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
steve@banbury-trials Posted April 23, 2008 Report Share Posted April 23, 2008 ashton forks have 26 and 24 hieght vee brake mount holes,im hoping to get a pair of these forks for my inspired once i get it .steve Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mafu26 Posted April 23, 2008 Report Share Posted April 23, 2008 get a set of leesons with a 24" mount on. i think he's still making them? anyway there the old pashley forks but with the mount rewelded for 24", really strong and come in at £65 i think? or a set of curtis forks at £140(?) there super strong but a bit heavy. i don't know of any adapter available? to be honest i think it'd be impossible anyway due to the position of the 26" would be in the way. other than that upgrade to a disc, alot more options for forks then.

Brian Bleech Posted April 23, 2008 Report Share Posted April 23, 2008 an inch of space might make it abit flexy? but i dunno, i know that boon cos his smart guys re-welded, well im pretty sure i heard about it.MatxBoon ran viz forks that looked a bit like smart guys/knifens ran a disc on it too, so no need for any rewelding.ashton forks have 26 and 24 hieght vee brake mount holes,im hoping to get a pair of these forks for my inspired once i get it .steveI found that the 26" mount made it really arsey when setting up the brake on the 24" mount. The 26" bit got in the way of brake pad.get a set of leesons with a 24" mount on. i think he's still making them? anyway there the old pashley forks but with the mount rewelded for 24", really strong and come in at £65 i think? or a set of curtis forks at £140(?) there super strong but a bit heavy. i don't know of any adapter available? to be honest i think it'd be impossible anyway due to the position of the 26" would be in the way. other than that upgrade to a disc, alot more options for forks then. or identiti tuning forks are good too.
