Did SID forks also come in 1" steerer?

Hi folks,

If so, I'll start the hunt for a blue pair!

Thanks

Re:

According to the 2000 Spare Parts booklet, the 1998 Blue SIDs did indeed come with a 1" thread less steerer

Re:

Great!

Did they have pressed in stanchions. Or bolt on ones?

I ask in case I see a 1 1/8" version. Actually, I wonder if a 1" Judy steerer/crown would work :!:

A 1 inch Judy crown does work. I've seen a few modified forks on here.

If you have the inclination, you could get a 1 1/8 set and have someone replace the steerer for the size you want.

Interesting idea, but who does that?

I've had it done a few times via a member on here. My understanding is you need it pressed out using a hydraulic press and a new steerer pressed in. I'm guessing a shim would work but a better option would be a steerer that fits the old diameter at the crown, but sized to take a 1 inch crown race and headset I.e. custom via a bit of lathe work.

Yes, I seem to remember someone here doing the conversion, but can't remember who!

I think Splitty21 used to press steerer replacements in

Did SID forks also come in 1" steerer?
