jigga Posted Saturday at 01:10 AM Report Share Posted Saturday at 01:10 AM Can anyone help me with the headset hack to fit Crewkerz Carbon forks to the 2024 hex ? Ali did it last year with a lower clamp height stem which I didn’t like . Ive just seen this Guy in the RPM in Guildford videos with a nicer set-up and the stock trialtech stem. Anyone know what headset he’s running or advice to make up for the 40 mm difference in headtube length btwn Inspired and Crewkerz forks ?

Swoofty Posted Saturday at 07:15 AM Report Share Posted Saturday at 07:15 AM Just get an Extension carbon fork. 15mm through and the steerer is the correct length. The WAW is too many compromises for street. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Inspired Hex features a integrated headset, so the top part below the stem is just the top spacer of the headset. Inspired comes with a tall cone headset spacer from the factory. You should be able to find a short stack headset spacer like I have from your local bikeshop. They come in different internal designs for different headsets so you may have to try a few to make sure it fits the headset in the Hex without resistance. This will then allow you to run a shorter steertube. Doing this and replacing with carbon spacers as pictured saves you free 20 grams at the stock Inspired fork steertube length 😄. As for the viability of those forks for street trials riding, I think it depends on how big you are going to be riding as the weight saving from those carbon forks do not come free. I believe there is a photo of the snapped WAW carbon forks on a Hex on Instagram from one of the UK riders. Forks is one of the few parts I do not mind going heavier but rugged on a bike.
