"Straight forks with no/0 rake 1"

Posted on
  • I have currently got a pair of straight blade, zero degree forks on my lo pro which has a ridiculously slack head tube angle. However, the forks were designed to be run with a 27 1/4" wheel meaning I have to run a deep drop brake caliper and also have a high bottom bracket. I have hunted everywhere for a 700c 1" specific fork, but to no avail. Can anyone help?

  • wait.

    low pro.

    slack head angle.

    27 1/4

    Either it's a very very old track bike or a post office bike sans mudguard with the wrong fork.

  • It is most definitely not a post office bike. I fitted the 27 1/4" forks, it originally came with 24" but I didn't like how low it was. Now I have gone from one extreme to the other!

  • I think you need to trade in you fauxlobropro for an OG Foffa HiPro... Will better suit your needs.

  • Jesus.

    Is that fo' realz?

  • So you brought a bicycle that you decided to fixed up the geo off just so it look cool?

    Just get a proper frame that'll fit you.

  • This thread needs pictures.

  • I'm guessing it looks something like this?

  • Haha, no not quite!

  • (Its the purple bike in the middle btw...!)

  • I think a picture of it on a flat surface might make more sense. I do not think the photo actually shows a zero degree fork. It's just straight.

    Put the original forks back.

    If you do really want to continue with the 700 idea, then check ebay, or BLB.

  • Haha, no not quite!

    But nearly.

    The seat tube angle you've wound up with + the fact you've got your saddle back as far as it is suggests you either have the longest thighs known to man or a stupid bike setup that you need to sort out, probably by purchasing a new frame and fork. I'm going to guess its the latter.

    I am pretty sure I didn't ask for people's opinion in starting up this thread. If I had of wanted comments on how my bike looks/rides I would of posted it in one of the porn threads. All I wanted was to find out if anyone knew where I can get some straight blade 0 rake forks...

    ...Thanks though.

  • Call it tough love.

  • here you go.

    Thanks, just what I was looking for!

  • Put 24" back and sort your fit out would be the easiest and cheapest solution.

  • Or if you want to ride 700c front and rear get an appropriate frame and fork. Seriously, frame builders know what geo works.
