Luke Rainbird Posted November 27, 2016 Report Share Posted November 27, 2016 Either should fit, though the Inspired fork suits the frame a tad better IMO. Shouldn't need to change headset really, given you'll be throwing in another set of 1 1/8" steerer forks Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
signo97 Posted November 27, 2016 Author Report Share Posted November 27, 2016 i prefer an inspired element fork but it is for 9mm hub and echo hub is 10mm Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Luke Rainbird Posted November 27, 2016 Report Share Posted November 27, 2016 It's possible to take a smidge off the dropout (or the hub) if needs be, though not the perfect solution. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Works though. I did this with a Trialtech Fork and an Echo Hub. I'd rather file down the axle than the fork though. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I had to file two flats in each side of my because hub's axle (very similar to an echo TR hub) in order for it to fit my element fork's dropouts. That was getting on for 5 years ago. You may wish to carefully file away the paint from inside the dropouts of your element forks, but stop filing when you see metal.
