Hi,
After ruining my original fork (or so I think, see viewtopic.php?f=1&t=387843) I finally decided to look for a replacement.
The fact that now 26" is out of fashion, and that I'm a bit picky with my requirements, is making it hard to find a suitable replacement, so I thought I'd ask here for help.
Basically, I'm looking for a fork with the following:
Must have's:
-made of cromoly (no carbon, no alu, no Hi-Ten)
-suitable for rim brakes
-suitable for mudguards
-non suspension corrected (my current Tange Big Fork seems to have about 390mm axle to crown, so I guess up to 410mm I should be ok)
-maximum price 100 EUR or equivalent. The bike is a '92 Trek 950 with immense sentimental value but not much market value.
Nice have's:
-ability to mount disks if I feel like it
-mid-fork eyelets to mount front racks if I feel like it
-non-threaded (ahead) steerer
-clearance for at least 2.1" tires, more is welcome
Until now I've only found cheap hi-ten stuff, crazy expensive carbon stuff, or disk-only suspension corrected options (Kona Project 2, etc.)
Thanks!!
