Fork Question

Recommended Posts

right guys and girls - i have some fatty forks and need to mount my maggy on them, i have the evo mounts but just looked and there are no bolts / pins in the forks to be able to fit anything to - does that make sense??

i have stolen this pic from google and circled the bolts / pins that i am missing - litterally the brake mounts i would gues - any ideas where to get some and or how much - need them asap

do they jusat screw in and out and would any forks with v-mounts have them that i could nick as i know where there could be some forks with them in - just need to know if it is as simple as screw them out the old fork and whack em in mine then mount the brake on as usual!?

Cannondale uses a weird non-metric pitch for their brake bosses. I bought a fatty R myself 2nd hand and it didn't have brake bosses, so i email cannondale europe in holland about it and they sent me free brake bosses. I suggest you to find out who distributes Cannondale in the UK (most likely cannondale europe) and send them an e-mail. They should be really cool about it and just send out free bosses.

DO NOT try to screw in other brake mounts with a different pitch, as the brakes pull on that thread so you could end up with pull out brake mounts.

bugger so i couldnt just go to halfrauds and get a set or a bike shop and get a set - surely they would be able to get the right ones for the forks?! need my brake mounted now so i can ride again - itching to get out like!!

can anyone find any geo details about the forks and/or mounts?!

took my forks to a local bike place and there was hardly any thread left on the holes so they re-tapped it and whacked me some v studs in - result - all sorted - i am now running dual maggy - HS33 rear and HS11 front!!

topic can be closed if the admin so desire
