Can I put mountain bike forks on a road bike frame? - mountain bike forks
The reason the question came from a meeting with a friend of a friend. It has a road bike with the front wheel with a fork and crushed everything is in order (which has more invested in the garage). I have several bits Giant Uplander, fork and front wheel are all in good condition. Neither are mechanical minded. If it's too technical, it's not really worth it, but when you pull the slide holder and crushed in the mountain bike fork, a single traveler can? Thank you.

It depends on a number of things. First, the pipe (the part that connects the handlebar holder) must be long enough. Often the tube is on a road bike over a mountain bike. If you do this will not work. To find out, you need to fork in the road bike and compare the length of the two lead pipes. If a bike head tube is more than a few millimeters shorter, the graft will not work. You must keep the diameter of pipes checked. Bicycle seniors use a smaller diameter pipe, so that if you do not have the same diameter, it will not work. The headset can be threaded or unthreaded. If MTB fork uses a different kind, the headset also transplanted into the mountain bike in the bike. Best: A simple task that would be experienced mechanic 1 / 2 hours. If you need to change some parts, it could be an hour. Worse yet, with forks, it is not possible

well-used road bike 700c wheel bike MTN 26 does not use "it. the front of the bike path is about 2" below. if the party Helms. is a booster seat, the weight shift forward will have more than 60%. depending on the bandwidth should be able to save his replacement100.00.
chek, if the frame is really right. Tube can twisted out of alignment. or other points along the frame. You need to replace forkcrown headset, such as race.
