Quoted message said:? ? All bike parts fail eventually. ?I know because I ride 10,000+ miles a
year. ?10k a year, blimey, have you ever broken a frame or fork? Reason i ask
is that i do about 5k and i've built up a straight bar tourer with 40h
washered wheels, but when i apply the front brake and rock the bike,
there's alot of rocking play from the give in the forks. I'm thinking
that they are too light for heavy miles and the fork flex will lead to
a fork blade snapping. Can you buy off the peg Reynolds or Surly heavy
duty forks with 1" 210mm threaded steerer?
cheers, Nick.
Not threaded, but Surly Steamroller forks are available in 1"
threadless. Long reach brakes, but no eyelets. About $100.
