Help.. good pics of GT2x4 fork dropouts

[dablk]

Morning All,
Just picked up a 91’ Zaskar shed find. It’s got 2x4 that are looking a little sorry for themselves.

I’d anyone able to get me some good photos please of what the adjustable dropouts should look like? I’m guessing I maybe missing some bits.

Thank you

Mine look pretty sorry for themselves too!

Cheers. I just assumed there would be a slide block. Mine have the external springs still but the screws are bent.they also look very long.

I'm pretty sure that's it.....just the same as you get on many road bike dropouts

GT 2x4 fork

Hi folks, I am looking for a GT 2x4 fork. Only available threaded. Adjustable rake. Dropouts look like this: (C) Secondspincycles Steerer length min. 142 mm. I am not looking for threadless forks (Bologna Lite, Bologna Cut) or standard threaded forks (no adjustable rake). Thanks! Stuff I...

There has been 50% good news and 50% bad news so far

I think I've got a couple of screws that would work.

given there is only 1 screw there I'm assuming the other is stuck in the fork or worse snapped off. if you want to run the forks over we can have a look at extraction. I'll have a look when I'm home to see if I've got an m3 or m4 helicoil, so if it's snapped off we can drill out and rethread.

Your judgment is correct unfortunately the worse of the two options. Even after an overnight soak. Pretty much was hanging off already and snapped as soon as I breathed on it. Will drop you a PM. I’m happy to give it a go but if your have better kit then any help appreciated.

I reckon I have the technology but I can't promise the paint will survive.

Out of interest; is there a noticeable difference in handling from the 2 extreme positions?
