Trying to get a bike trailer specced. Manufacturer has queried the distance between bikes in case the fork legs over-lap. Currently they suggest 8", which is wider than my Lyriks or the manitou things on my mate's DH bike, but not by much. Anyone get any idea how wide a set of Fox 40's are? (Guessing they're about the widest fork on the market).
Looking for the width across the fork legs at the widest point.
Anyone?
I'll try and remember to check mine for you tonight, drop me an email if i forget.
at first I was trying to work out why the fork width mattered for a tag-along trailer..
wouldn't pedal / crank spacing by just as important?
i think youd have more difficulties with the back end as DH bikes tend to be rather wide. Not to mention pedals and bars ;0)
Back ends is a fair point but pedals/bars fit by putting each bike opposite ways around. Cranks then sit in the gaps and as long as there is a little sideawys location movement in the bikes then bars will fit overlapping slightly.
