Hello, I am trying to replace the current fork on my old Haro Vector V4r and am having a hard time locating a suitable replacement fork.
The fork that is currently on the bike is a threaded 1-1/8" suspension fork for cantilever brakes and the steerer tube measures right at 5-1/2" or 5-9/16" depending on where you start measuring from (so I am thinking it would be a 140mm steerer tube).
The one on the bike now has been frozen since I picked the bike up from my local bike co-op and whoever owned this prior to me appears to have tried to free up the fork with some type of lubricant (smells like wd-40) that is now starting to seep out of the fork which is one reason I'd like to replace it now.
I use this bike mainly for urban riding so a rigid fork would be fine as well (I believe it originally came with a rigid fork).
This is a budget commuter bike so I'd like to go with as inexpensive of a fork as I can get by with.
It's a really cool bike, rad would probably be a better description of it seeing as it's a 90's bike so I'd like to be able to replace the fork and continue riding it as my budget urban commuter if possible.
Thanks for the help in advance! I'll post some pics up once I get the new fork on so you all can check out the level of rad-ness this bike possesses!
