Marin hawkhill forks and headset questions

[Beeewu]

Hi Guys, after some knowledge!

i got a 19" hawkhill 1995 for cheap. It came with f**cked rockshoks and threadless headset.

I'm looking to add rigid forks to replace...but never done this before so not sure what the next move i should make.

Should i fit theaded headset and search for original forks
or find modern equivilents threadless forks (if that even possible)?

Any help would be much appreciated!
Or ive any has and forks or headsets let me know

Thanks
Bradley

plenty of forks available for older 26 wheel frames

Threadless/ ahead gives you better choice of stem and headset to suit your riding style

threadless headsets galore

Thanks for the info!
does fork sizes matter to match frame sizes?

 

[legrandefromage]

steerer width, yes, steerer length, no, you cut it down to suit

Re:

I've still got the original rigid fork for my 19" '95 Pine Mountain, plus other various rigid forks from Marins i've owned in the past.
I may also have a threaded headset that'll suit, i'm not 100% sure but I can check and get back to you.
