Will these fit a MK3 Audax Frame ?, what's the difference between these and the MK3 Audax ForksForks
By Dave A
08 Oct 2020
SJS Customer Service:
Yes, these would be suitable, they are our top level Reynold Steel fork.
You just need to ensure the rake matches your frame size;
- For frame sizes 525, 570 and 600 use the 46mm rake fork
- For frame sizes 495 and 555S use the 55mm rake fork
Thanks - 12/10/20

Will a 28c tyre fit with adequate full mudguard clearance
SJS Customer Service:
Hi,
You'd be absolutely fine using 28mm tyres with mudguards and still have plenty of clearance.
Thanks.

Brake Drop

Can you please confirm if these forks require a 57mm drop brake?
Thanks.
Thanks.
SJS Customer Service:
Hi,
We normally fit brakes with 47-57mm drop, but depending on the rim it is closer to the 57mm mark so if you have a set of brakes that cover 57mm, they should fit fine.
Thanks.

700C Thorn 853C Steel Fork Star Nut
By Anonymous

This fork is stated to have a 1 1/8 steerer. However, I have tried to fit a 1 1/8 star nut but it does not fit (falls to the bottom of the tube). I have fitted a compression plug which seems to work but should I have fitted a 1 1/4 star nut?
I have a 1 1/4 star nut so not a problem if this is the better option.
Thanks

SJS Customer Service:
Hi,
The inside of the steerer tube is ever so slightly oversized, meaning that some 1 1/8" star nuts struggle to grip properly. We normally have to press out certain 1 1/8" star nuts to allow them to grip fully, if you do not wish to do this then we would recommend using an expanding wedge style compression plug as a 1 1/4" star nut is still too large to actually fit. This slightly oversize internal diameter does not affect the strength of the forks in any way.
Thanks.
