  • Carbon fork for old cyclocross frame

    I have an old canondale tourer which I am using as a cyclocross frame.

    I want to swap the heavy steel fork for a carbon fork with disc tabs.

    The frame has a 1 inch steerer.

    I was looking at options and Nashbar do one but do not ship outside the states.
    Any other suggestions

    Exotic do some 1 inch steerer MTB forks

    Depends on how you feel about aesthetics I suppose

    Looking for 700c forks.

    Did the 3 peaks cyclocross this yearand they stipulate that you need 700c wheels.

    Croix de Fer owners (including myself) have the same problem.
    straight 1 1/8″ steer, disc tabs (post/IS don’t care), room for 35-40c, qr/15mm axle.

    Right now the only option that suits the purpose is the pricey Ritchey

    You can get those Exotic forks linked above in 1 inch steerer, 46.5cm length (i.e 700c).

    Road / CX forks generally 400-420mm a/c dimension – a 460mm fork will result in a 2-3 degree ‘slackening’ of HTA which will change handling. Think there’s a shorter version.

    OP I assume you need canti bosses?

    Otherwise those Exotic forks come in a good range of lengths

    eXotics on eBay come in 39, 42.5, 44.5 and a 29er length Axle to crown.
    The best product I’ve found is £136 carbon bladed number on bikediscount.de, 40cm. These are all to fit my 1&1/8th not 1″ sorry.
