Question about forks.
So, despite that we haven't really ridden our Burley yet, I'm curious about fork options.
Currently the bike is using a 1 1/8in threaded fork with a quill stem. I don't mind either, personally. But 1 1/8in quill stems are quite the rarity. The one is has is a ZOOM adjustable and I'm not really fond of it's appearance.
I'm just curious if I can use a regular 1 1/8" fork, like from a Surly Cross Check or LHT, on it and not have any ill effects. I've been looking and haven't seen any steel forks for tandems for wheel sizes other than 26in.
None of this is a big deal. And we'll probably ride the tandem for a season or so before any major changes, but just wanted to know if this is possible. I don't want to have to shell out $500 or so on a Wound Up carbon fork.
Thanks, all.
