Hi All (I tried search, but did not find much),
I'd appreciate some guidance and help.
I want to replace the System Six fork on my Cannondale System Six. I noticed that it tapers from 1 1/8 at the top to 1 1/2 at the bottom. Are there alternatives other than getting another Cannondale System Six (or Super Six, which is the same from what I researched) fork? Can I go with most any fork that has a 1 1/8 steerer tube? Although, wouldn't I need some kind of shim for the 1 1/2 section? If going with something other than Cdale System Six or Super Six fork, would I need to put in some kind of headset adjustment or anything else?
Many thanks!!
