Fork replacement.
 

Hey guys, I have a one inch threadless bike of whoms fork is starting to rust from the inside. Someone gave me the fork and I just saw the rust underneath the paint that he put on, and I have no idea how bad it is. Instead of sandblasting and whatnot, I decided I should probably just replace the whole thing.

I am currently looking at

and
http://www.bikecult.com/works/parts/FKgenSB.html
but I am undecided on which would would suit my needs. Not having much money and all, makes it difficult on determining which would be would the real bang for my buck. Has anyone used either of these forks before? Any thoughts?

Whats a whoms fork? Not having money sand the fork you have and paint it. Roger

He's mixing the possessive and the objective form of "who" (the bike). Ideally you'd match the rake/offset to your existing fork so that it handles the same.

Back to the fork question, neither of the forks linked to would be any good for the OP, with the info supplied, the OP has a threadless fork, both forks linked to are threaded.

The Bikecult one is a slim possibility only if after cutting off the thread portion there is still enough steerer tube left. The OP needs to measure their forks steerer tube, and compare to the specs given on Bikecult. i.e if the OPs steerer is currently 185mm or over, it won't work; based on the 260mm steerer, with 75mm threaded section which can be cut off.

I still say if he doesn't have any money he would be better off painting what he has. Roger

Since you indicated you have a threadless fork but linked to threaded forks, I'm going to ask if you've researched your braking needs. The forks you posted do not have cantilever mounts on them so be sure your bike doesn't have cantilever brakes. For those forks to work, your bike would need to have a brake that is bolted to the center of the fork crown (or no brakes if it's a track bike). If the brakes are attached to the two fork tubes, the forks you linked won't work.

Dimension makes a broad variety of replacement forks, both threaded and threadless. I have one on my bike and it's a pretty nice fork. It's a little skinny for my over-sized tubes (aesthetically speaking) but functionally I love it.
