Howdy yall..
Here is my bike, a Gary Fisher Advance 2003.
Advance | Gary Fisher Bicycles
It isn't a fancy or expensive bike but it gets me around town just fine. Anyhow, I’m doing an overhaul on it by getting a new rear derailer a new crank and sprocket set along with new front forks. I don't want to spend a whole heck of a lot of money, hopefully around a hundred bucks or less.
I have some specific questions about the forks though.
Here is one for instance that i would consider buying, unless you guys can point me to something better.
SR Suntour CR-880 Suspension Fork Mountain Bike 26" NEW: 344053 Crosslake Sales
In particular i would like to know about this information, "Steerer Tube 1 1/8" Threaded 230mm (approximately 57mm of threading)"
Obviously the 1 1/8" is the outer diameter of the tube but what is the stuff about the Threaded 230mm and 57mm of threading.
My guess is that the 230mm the length of the tube. I don't know about the 57mm thing though.
How do i find this information about the RST Capa CL fork though. I have looked around already and haven't been able to find out if it is threaded or what. It would be obvious to me if i knew what they are talking about.
Ok i'll stop here so not to have a LONG drawn out post that no one wants to read.
Thanks,
Thanks to the mod for fixing my links. I wasn't in the mood to add the html tags. =D
