1.5 Steering tube Question

falcon171 · 01-01-2004, 06:21 PM

This could be a stupid guestion but bare with me. Can forks with a 1.5 steering tube fit any bike, with the change of a headset and stem? Reason I ask is because I was offered a 2004 Sherman Breakout, an I wouldn't mind running this fork.

Nope, you need a 1.5 specific bike.

ya, you can do it the opposite way (running a 1 1/8 on a 1.5 headtube) using adapters and things, but its not possible to run a 1.5 fork on a 1 1/8 bike
