Q: Will a suspension fork fit my bike?   ^ Back to Top
A: You'll have to take a couple measurements to find out. The first is the outside diameter of the steer tube on your existing fork, that's the tubular part of the fork that goes up through the frame of the bike. For any of our suspension forks to work it will have to measure 1-1/8" in diameter and have no threads at the top of it. If it measures 1-1/8" and is threadless you can go with any of the suspension forks we carry.

If it measures 1 1/8" but does have threads at the top of it, then you'll also need to get a new 1-1/8" threadless headset and a 1-1/8" threadless stem in addition to one of our forks to make it work.

If it measures 1" or 1-1/4" in diameter, then unfortunately we do not have a suspension fork that will work for your bike. Your best bet in that case is a local bike shop since they can normally order in whatever you will need.
