thanks.
Yes, there is a chance it will. But you really can’t run much over 80mm and no one makes a quality V-brake fork these days.
I would guess your steel fork weighs around 1000 grams. The 63mm Suntour is 2200 grans. Not a light fork and probably not a great fork. But I’m guessing finding that super light V-brake SID in new condition is both a needle in a haystack and a king’s ransom.
