zoster Posted January 4, 2009 Report Share Posted January 4, 2009 Hi!i am looking for a fork (be it steel or aluminium) with vee mounts for 24" wheelsi don't really want to pay more than 60 quidoptions i thought of:1. order from marino a fork (i am ordering a frame anyways). i think is really strong and looks good as well LINK drawback - it's quite heavy, about 1200g2. buying a used pashley fork and weld some v-mounts on it. weight - 1000g. drawback - don't really like the ballerina looks of it + it's a bit of a hassleANY OTHER OPTIONS?what would you suggest i'd go for?thanks for the input!Z Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Luke Rainbird Posted January 4, 2009 Report Share Posted January 4, 2009 See if you can pick up some of the old Ashtons with the 24/26" mounts - Essentially Fattys with the extra mounts, I've run a few pairs on various bikes with no issues and only good things to say about them - Itook a grinder to the 26" mounts mind. Come to think of it, I think that Base made a copy for a while tooInspired/Trialtech forks should be about at some point I'd have thought?

zoster Posted January 4, 2009 Author Report Share Posted January 4, 2009 (edited) i'll try to find the ashton forks but chances don't look good ( searched on this forum and on ebay and no luck )maybe this is a solution? (+ a 4-bolt fork, obviously)edit: maybe not.. this is for some specific frame, not for hs33s Edited January 4, 2009 by zoster Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dan6061 Posted January 5, 2009 Report Share Posted January 5, 2009 Most 24" riders used to have the old steel Pashley forks, with the mounts re-welded back in the day...Could probably find someone with a set kicking about? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
