meatpuppet Posted March 30, 2021 Report Share Posted March 30, 2021 Does anybody know the offset of the Onza genesis 20" forks (original purple forks)?? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AdamR28 Posted March 30, 2021 Report Share Posted March 30, 2021 A lot. 45-50 IIRC. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
meatpuppet Posted March 30, 2021 Author Report Share Posted March 30, 2021 Thanks Adam, right I need to find some 45mm+ forks then. Not easy on my budget though, lol Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
David Michie Posted March 31, 2021 Report Share Posted March 31, 2021 (edited) Has the genesis got a tapered head tube? I managed to get a set of aluminium forks for my onza on ebay. Just standard head tube though. Think they are around the same geometry. Still one set left. Edited March 31, 2021 by David Michie Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Internal 44mm head tube on the Genesis. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Any idea as to what size star nut to fit in these forks ? @Adam@TartyBikes? Edited April 1, 2021 by Dazza1414 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AdamR28 Posted April 1, 2021 Report Share Posted April 1, 2021 You'd have to measure the steerer. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mark W Posted April 1, 2021 Report Share Posted April 1, 2021 You ideally need 1-3mm larger than your steerer tube ID, so somewhere in that 23-25mm range would be best. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

So 23.5mm? typically would be out of stock! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dazza1414 Posted April 1, 2021 Report Share Posted April 1, 2021 Just found a description of the forks and it say that a standard star nut fits. Would the First top cap kit work @Adam@TartyBikes? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AdamR28 Posted April 1, 2021 Report Share Posted April 1, 2021 Not without some angle grinder action. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

AdamR28 Posted April 1, 2021 Report Share Posted April 1, 2021 Nope, such is bike industry supply right now... Its not a special item, pop down your LBS and see what they have. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Internal 44mm head tube on the Genesis. I bought a set of breeth disc forks in the end, hopefully they suit the frame. Does anyone know what bottom bracket axle width came on the original genesis, I know the BB shell is 68mm but unsure of the axle width?
