that sounds good but ill need some complete with clamps, brakes etc.

can i put standard length forks say around 670mm on a mid size frame or do i need to get the longer ones?
cheers

m8 before u buy make sure u ask for the measurement of the headstem shaft or youll have so much trouble like i did wen i got new dnm forks!

[zumanity]

cheers pickles.
so u mean the length of the shaft?
what problems did u have?

[pickles09]

yeh the length of the shaft that goes between ur triple clamp.... i bought dnm forks and the shaft was 20 mm to short so we tryed to press out the shaft not noing it was screw in stem as the stock was pressed in so we bent the new shaft and u can buy longer shafts that have threads so yeh that was my problem

just ask if the shaft is press in and ull b right coz u can press ur old one out n put it in the new triple clamps easy enough

i think only dnm have screw in tho so u should b right
