1.5inch

[AN AUSSIE]

Hey just wondering what forks are availiable in 1.5 inch head tube, manitou shermans are i know but is it possible to get other 1/8 head tube standard forks with a 1.5 inch? like pikes? with out having to get a spacer thingo.

[Dicky]

No.

You'll have to buy 1.5" to 1 1/8" reducer cups (aka 'spacer thingo') to run anything else.

FSA also make a 1.5" to 1 1/8" reducer headset, with the added benefit of larger bearings, lower stack height, etc.

as dicky said you will not be able to but just buy the spacer from
www.ribbed.com.au
they only cost 55 dollars there made by 24 cycles

I'm pretty sure grip does a steerer tube replacing service, you could be able to change the standard to a 1.5. Not sure about the force put on it....

i rackon it would still be next to impossible to fit a 1.5 steerer tube into a 1 1/8 crown.

Ahh... as daddyrat said, you won't be able to fit a 1.5 steerer into a 1.125 crown.

For 07, Rockshox has three new forks (the Lyrik, the Domain and the Totem - see http://www.pinkbike.com/news/SRAM-2007-Freeride-product-preview-RockShox.html) which will be available with 1.5 steerers. Marzocchi are also producing some OEM-only forks (66s? Can't remember) with 1.5 steerers for 07, but these won't be available aftermarket.
