Suspension Forks for Alpinestars

[mikee]

1 1/4" steerers are quite common ,especially for manitou forks

a nice set of rs1's would look the part on it

I take it the whole of the existing headset comes out, the reducers go in, top and bottom, then an 1-1/8" headset bearing is fitted???? :?

Yep, that's how it works. Did the same with my old Aluminium Elite and it worked well.

Just to be awkward, I'm fitting a 1 1/4" Aheadset and Manitou 2's with an alloy steerer, and an A-TAC stem with Hyperlite bar to my cro-mega...

Thanks for the help guys, its good to know I have a few options! As I might want to change from stiff to a bit of give in the future??

Fitted my 92 cromega dx with Rockshox Quadras when they first came out BITD, cost me £200 and I thought they were the bee's knee's, in the cold light of day some 20 years later I have to admit they were pretty rubbish!!!!!!
