STIFF AS FORK FORK

A custom fork, for your custom fork needs 

ALWAYS

1 1/8" straight steerer tube - steel isn't carbon and for most applications this will more than suffice and give you all of the steel feels your heart desireth. Please get in touch if your fork is for a tandem or cargo bike or something significantly load bearing up front and you feel a tapered steel steerer would be for you. For 44mm head tubes we supply a reducer crown race.

Columbus steel and phoenix feathers - We use both the tapered and straight Columbus unicrown fork blades. Straight is truly SAF being 1 1/8" all of the way to the dropout and tapered is a little lighter tapering to a narrower tip. Either will do for any standard cycling thing either on or off road but continuous 1 1/8" blades are for sure going to be less compliant than tapered and give a different feel to your ride.

If you disc braking ISO Willets mount - flat mount to come but for now I much prefer the way a Willets mount spreads the load of a disc brake. Ask about flat mount, as this may change.
