Replacement fork for an old bike

By tiago

01 Aug 2018

4 / 5

I recommend this product

Consheavy, uncouth finishing

Prosclearance, steerer length, price

Doesn't ride as nice as a spare Surly, nor as a original Koga it was replacing, but for the price, and sonce this is for my beater bike, it is suitable.
No machining needed to fit the headset race. Really wide fork with more clearance than needed for 35mm and mudguards.

Spot on!

Consnone

ProsFinish, quality

Bought these as a replacement for the original suntour cr8v forks - had a real problem finding a suitable replacement until I found SJS - simple replacement and perfect fit - had to cut stem down slightly, which was easier than expected (plenty of thread). Black finish blends in with frame very well.
All in all - very happy, will come back to SJS first on this experience. Biggest plus is the improvement in ride - bike is now significantly more precise than it was even with the old suspension forks locked out.

Well finished product

Fork

I recommend this product

ConsAlignments-mediocre

ProsCheap, stiff, carrier-tapped

Second one of these I've fitted. Like the first, the alignments weren't great but everything generally fitted together OK including no filing need to fit the lower bearing this time. Nice and stiff after Reynolds 531ST types (broke two of those easily)

Hard To Find Threaded Touring Fork

By Tom

23 Jul 2011

5 / 5

I recommend this product

I had quite a hard time finding a threaed toruing fork (with bosses for low rider racks and 2 sets of eyelets). This was the winner! Had it installed this week. I'm happy with it and I'm thankful that SJS stocks this item. I really didn't want to convert to threadless.

Seems Good

I recommend this product

ConsThe area for the crown racer needs to be filed down

ProsLots of lugs, should take any pannier rack

Not yet installed it on the touring bike how ever the initial thoughts are good. The forks seem to be up to the job, a lot of thread for the steerer so you can cut it to your own length.

Poor Quality - Returned

By Stephen

1 / 5

ConsNot,fit,for,purpose

ProsNon

Bought one of these to replace fatigued forks on a Dawes Discovery in 2008. Very poor quality of manufacture meant the end plates where not parallel and the QR skewer would not fit. Returned as not fit for purpose and money was refunded. To advertise these as suitable for a Dawes Galaxy is entirely inappropriate.

Steerer Tube Cracked

By Mark

14 Sep 2009

3 / 5

Steerer Tube cracked and split down the rear washer-notch on install. Was using a quill-style convertor for use with threadless stems so it is possible that the orientation of the quill was at fault. Nonetheless I have never seen nor heard of this before so I would never recommend this.

By Anonymous

12 Aug 2019

Hi, what max tyre width will fit with mudguards? And what is the axle-crown measurement to the underside of the crown? thanks

SJS Customer Service:

Width inside blades 70mm at tyre, so 700x55 tyres max.
420mm Axle - bottom of crown race.
- A-C: 380 mm

Minimum Head tube lenth?

By Andrew Brown

16 Dec 2018

Will these forks be okay with 105 mm head tube? And will the Tange headsets you sell be compatible with these forks?

SJS Customer Service:

It is likely, but you would need to know the stack of the headset etc or measure the steerer tube of the current fork.

Thanks - 17/12/18

Can I use this with a 25 year old steel Dawes Meanstreet hybrid

By Penny

07 Sep 2018

The bike has a unicrown fork, a quill headset and cantilever brakes, 700c wheels and the framesize is about 20

SJS Customer Service:

Hi yes these forks should fit. Thanks

My previous question re headset

By JimP

06 Aug 2018

The frame is a Claude Butler Regent with 1" threaded steerer fork. The problem is not so much matching the frame, but, as pointed out by two reviewers, that some headsets do not fit this fork without filing or machining the seating on the fork.

SJS Customer Service:

Hi there,

As long as the dimensions given in the description are matched there should not be a problem, there are two types of 1" headset crown races and its possible the wrong size was used.

Thanks

What headset would you recommend?

By Anonymous

03 Aug 2018

Need to ensure that the lower bearing fits this 1 " steerer fork without filing

SJS Customer Service:

The headset choice is quite dependant on the fitting of the frame, so we would need to know that to advise.

Thanks

Axle Width?

By Ron

07 Nov 2016

Hi again, What is axle width of forks please?

Cheers

SJS Customer Service:

Hi,

These forks are designed for hubs that are 100mm wide.

Thanks.

Would They Suit 1994 Dawes Horizon Twin?

By jB

05 Aug 2015

Its was originally purchased from yourselves and still going strong. But I need more mudguard clearance

SJS Customer Service:

Hi,

Unfortunately these forks are only cheap replacements and are not rated for tandem use so we would not recommend fitting them to a tandem I'm afraid.

Thanks.

Material

By Franck

24 Apr 2015

What is the material ?

Thanks

SJS Customer Service:

Hi,

These are standard cromo steel.

Thanks.

Will Regular Road Brakes Fit?

By Stelios

25 Jun 2014

I have the shimano R450 brakes. Can they be used with this fork with a 700c wheel?

SJS Customer Service:

Hi,

Unfortunately not, these forks only have fittings for v-brakes or cantilever brakes and can't accept normal road calliper brakes.

Thanks.

What Is The Maximum Tire Size This Fork Will Accept?

By Ben

24 Apr 2014

SJS Customer Service:

Hi,

I would not recommend using a tyre any wider than 2".

Thanks.

Hi,

Yes there is a notch running down through the threads at the rear of the steerer tube.

Thanks.
