Threadless Fork
Thread started by
imachynna at 06.29.09 - 4:41 pm
I want to make this as short as possible.
Does anyone have a 1" threadless track fork I can use on my Kilo? I bent the original one in an accident on Friday, and I'd rather replace the fork than try to repair it and ride on a weaker fork.
If you don't have one, do you know where I can find one for a reasonable price? I have searched CL already.
Thanks.

contact vinh from tns/wndsrs
i think he had a similar bike as the kilo and he recently got a new bike.

I guess so. That's alright though, I'm just going to wait for something to pop up. I really just need a replacement so I can ride. I don't really have the money to spend at this point.

I'm pretty sure the crown survived. It's only the fork that's busted.

Steel forks are way stronger than you think. Go to athena cycles in the valley. Theres a guy there that can bend that shit back to factory spec. Ask Krista.
STEEL IS REAL

Alex Tallcans had some forks, that weren't even broken, bent to a different shape by him so he could do barspins on a 700c.
Dont waste your money on new forks.

By the way, YOU'RE disappointed? I'M disappointed. I haven't even had this bike for a whole month yet!!!! And do you remember when you called me when your bike got stolen? I didn't say I was disappointed. I said not to fret and to feel better because some day you'd have a better bike. Thanks for the encouragement.

Actually, it's not Athena, it's Bike Factory. Morey has worked on mine & tallcans' bikes for years. He took my totally fucked up steel fork that i had ran straight into a fence full-speed with, and straightened it out so well, that it was BETTER THAN IT WAS BEFORE. I could make no-handed left turns on it. I could ride no-handed forever on that bike...Go see Morey at the Bike Factory FOR CELERY. Oh, and it will cost mucho lesso than a replacement fork. Mucho. Lesso.

Yeah you could probably bend it back, but its kinda sketchy. Depends on how bent it is.
Just go to the kitchen and get some random bullshit fork for the mean time.

I think it might be salvageable. I'm going to take it to Bike Factory and see what they think. If it's salvageable but too sketchy, I'll probably pass.

You guys forget about your local bike co-op? I know specifically at the brw we have fork bending/alighnment tools. Also buy a star nut and you can use any 1" fork threaded or not.

Yeah the co-ops have the fork alignment tool. But they dont really have anyone who knows how to use it very well.

Yes please. And maybe we can attach a rack to your bike and you can haul me around if they don't have it? You can ride all the way to Bike Factory in Noho with me on the rack. Then you'll be my wife- no coupons necessary.

Do you guys think $20 is enough to get my fork repaired? Whether it's at Bike Factory or getting a new one at the Kitchen?

Both. I'm gonna go drop off my fork to get repaired right now and then I'm going to go to the kitchen and see if your fork is there so I can use it in the meantime.
