|   Help! - Fork Crown Clearance Prob. | Dr.Faustus
May 21, 2003 8:53 PM | | Help!
I'm getting my hardtail (Strong Frames, Columbus Foco with the big coffin-shaped downtube) built up and it turns out that a Fox Float 100 RL will not clear the down tube. The adjustment knobs on the top of the crown hit the downtube so the fork will not rotate through 360°. The frame has a nice Cane Creek headset mounted (same stack height as a Chris King) and I really don't want to go searching for some headset with a taller lower race/ stack height.
More info:
*The frame originally had a '00 or '01 Marzocchi Bomber Z1 XFly mounted with another Cane Creek Headset and that worked fine.
*I'd like to go with a reasonably light (prob. air) and stiff X-country style, single crown fork (hence the original Fox Float choice)
Questions:
*Would a '03 Rock Shox Duke Race crown and knobs clear the downtube?
*What other '02 or '03 forks would clear the downtube?
Thanks,
Dr.Faustus |
