|   Action-Tec forks? | RL
May 29, 2003 10:25 AM | | Where can I find more information on Action-Tec forks? I am considering purchasing one for a custom Strong, but I don't know much about them. Another question I had was If I got the Action Tec, could I put a rigid fork (surly) on it and it not afect the geometry, I am aware that the fork is 1 1/4, I could just put a king adapter on it, if I chose to put a 1 1/8 fork on it. |

Cambria sold the forks once upon a time, however they no longer seem to carry them. Did Action Tec go out of business? Maybe Cannondale finally won and had them shut down? |

Cool bike. Dunno if it was a 29"er, but it was sweet and a unique ride for sure. Might want to throw your question out on that board and see if you get some info.
Must post pics when you bulid it!! |

Subtracting sag from the action tec span would put you very close to the same geometry between the two forks. You should be able to swap back and forth with little to no effect.
