Did anyone purchase this fork to replace an outdated suspension fork? If so what make? Thanks in advance.

I replaced the original RockShox Indy XC with 63mm travel from my 1997 Specialized Rockhopper A1-FS Comp. It dropped the front maybe by 1/2 inch which I didnt really notice in use. Nice ride but you feel the bigger bumps. I'm happy with it. Certainly looks sharp.

Yes, many people have replaced all different forks from different makers. Regards, Thom in Tech

the steerer tube on these forks I 265 mm. you will, more than likely, need to cut them to size. you can find most other info you need on sram.com. I have enjoyed these forks

Not likely The fork is held stable, but everyhing else flexes as if on the road. I'm not an engineer, but I don't see sny issues.

Hello Chris, Yes the fork we (Worldwide Cyclery) are selling has a straight 1-1/8 steerer. It also comes with full warranty : ) Let us know if you have any other questions!

Yes it a QR fork. I believe the year is 2012. Good fork for the price. I bought it for my 26" Merlin which still has v-brakes.

oh man, I wish I had found these posts before ordering one of these as most of the reviews are positive. It's on the way, should I just immediately send it back and eat the shipping charge? I wouldn't be surprised that these are on sale now as Schwinn prob has fixed models out now. I am assuming that if I keep this bike it will crap out shortly. If I do keep it, should I immediately call for the new motor and then the control panel before even using it? Will the original motor work with the new panel? uggggh. not looking forward to this. Any chance we can convince you to put up a website with pics of the fixes?? ; ) oh man, I wish I had found these posts before ordering one of these as most of the reviews are positive.

Mine was the older V brakes, the disc brake model had just come out mine was old stock. Sorry no idea on the forks that's too technical for me lol

These flexes a little, I could feel mine flex from side to side as I lean on my handle bars. The product is tough, Im 200 lbs and use an aerobar, did a century ride without any problems. For a fixed gear on some rough road, I would lower the air on my tires to absorb the bumps. Also I think you can only fit up to 25mm tire on this fork, please check

Sorry for the confusion. Amazon does not allow sellers to modify listing images or descriptions. If you buy this fork from us (Worldwide Cyclery), you will get the version for Rim or Disc brakes.

I had this same problem, the forks were too wide. I had to manually bend them (carefully) so they properly snapped in. It's been fine ever since.

I can further confirm others' comments about the shock mount. The elastics in mine broke and I've had to hack something together with rubber bands!Can anyone suggest a good replacement shock mount--or just a regular mount as, in my situation, the "shock" aspect is overkill.

http://www.srsuntour-cycling.com/home/ talk to sun tour and they should be able to send what you need. I don't think you will need parts for them. I use my forks for down hill and they are still as good as I bought them!

I believe the question arises from the need to replace the fork. The Hybrid 700C fork is a good piece of steel but may reduce your wheelbase. This bike has always been a twitchy and front responsive machine. Perhaps too responsive. Use a top quality headset and if you don't have the tools, have it installed for you and pay the mechanic gratefully and tip him too. Ride On

There are two kinds of front fork/handlebar systems. (1) The old style pre-2000 or so, where you loosened up a long bolt on top, and then, could slide the bars up and down about 3 inches. It was an expanding bolt inside the front fork. (2) The newer style where there is a handlebar mount that clamps onto the outside of a fixed length front fork. These do not have that adjustment. The Montague Paratrooper I bought has this newer type, so no adjustment - to my knowledge. The only way to raise the handlebars is to get a different "clamp" that holds the handlebars to the front fork, that has some lift in it. There are even some that are adjustable. This would be a second purchase after the bicycle.

Hi, Thanks for the question. I can't seem to get many specs on your bikes but it looks like it should fit. As long as you have an 1 1/8" steerer this fork will work as a direct replacement for your fork. Thanks

Yes this fork will work. Your frame has 1 1/8 headset so you want to make sure the fork your order is the same. Considering the year of the bike, I would also recommend a new headset as well.

They'll fit just fine. You'll have to cut the steerer tube to fit your bike, but that has to be done with any replacement fork. It's a good fork, I've rode the whole summer on my commuter with no problems.
