    First your question.

    1.It can definitely be changed.

    2.It definitely doesn't feel the same.

    But. 1.There is no need to change.

    Permanent 28 car You can only change the fork with the same pipe diameter, if you change it, your handlebar does not match the fork tube, you have to change the handlebar.

    2.Ordinary bicycles are generally steel frames, do you change steel forks? Or an aluminum fork? Hard fork or shock fork?

    It will feel different, but it may not be a good feeling.

    Change the steel fork = not changed.

    Changing the aluminum fork, the front and rear weight ratio of your car has changed, and the strength of the aluminum fork is much lower than that of the steel fork, and it is lightweight. However, it seems that there is no such match as a steel frame with an aluminum fork, which is equivalent to Bensan CPU having to go to 1G memory, and it doesn't work.

    Swap suspension forks. Cheap dozens of dollars, the worst spring suspension, not to mention the effect, your steel frame car itself is more than twice as heavy as the aluminum frame car, which increases the burden of shock absorption, and the life is reduced.

    If you change to a few hundred or thousands of suspensions. It's still the analogy just now, the 386 machine, you have to go to 4G memory. It's better to change to a car with a modification prospect and get it again.

    All in all, it's not impossible to change forks, it's just that you have to be clear about what you want to achieve.

    For road cars and skill cars, it is generally required to be light, no shock absorber, and good braking.

    For a mountain car, the frame should be strong, the shock absorption should be good, and the brakes should be absolutely sensitive, generally oil discs.

    Street cars, if you don't fly to play, you can play casually, you can consider lightweight + ordinary suspension (within 1000), V brakes, disc brakes, to be sensitive.

    In general, if a car wants to change things, 1 depends on whether there is a value for changing, 2 depends on whether it can achieve the desired effect after changing, and 3 depends on whether it will affect the entire pattern after changing, so as not to change one place and find that it has to change another thing. In the end, it is not as affordable as buying a whole car.

    Yes, but it depends on the caliber of the top tube.

  3. Anonymous users2024-02-09

    It is not universal, and it should be matched with the frame (such as 26 inches, 28 inches, etc.).

    It matches the diameter of the front tube of the frame (most civilian bicycles are 30mm), and the caliber of sports bicycles is more.

    There is also a fork top tube, and the top tube is divided into teeth and no teeth.

    If there is a tooth (that is, there is a thread at the end of the fork top tube, which is mostly used for civilian bicycles), it is necessary to match the top tube with the front tube of the frame (mainly looking at the bowl group).

    Toothless (that is, there is no thread at the end of the top tube, and the toothed fork can also be used if the caliber is appropriate), the requirements for the length of the top tube are not too high (because it can be truncated if it is long, and it will not work if it is short).

    In addition, there is the size of the fork opening (basically related to the model, the road car opening is the smallest, followed by the station wagon, the mountain bike is larger, the tires used in this model are related, hehe, for a simple example, the wheels of the mountain bike are basically not fitted on the road fork).

    There is also a problem of the length of the wishbone (some long-arm forks are specially corresponding to the frame, which is more common in suspension forks, and if it is installed on the general horizontal frame, it will raise the front of the car, although it does not affect the basic use, but it will mess up the original mechanical design of the frame).

    It seems like that's all I can think of now, hehe.

    Why do bicycle forks bend?

    The bicycle fork is bent forward, and the axis of the front wheel steering axle does not extend beyond the center of the wheel, but through the point of contact between the front wheel and the ground. In this way, when the front wheel is turned, it is inherently stable and flexible, and does not swing from side to side. The end of the fork is bent forward, which increases the force of the impact and makes it less likely to break.

    Why should a bicycle tire be inflated?

    If you don't inflate, it doesn't mean that you can't walk, but after you are inflated, the contact surface between the tires and the ground will be reduced, and the corresponding friction coefficient will also change, which is more labor-saving. At the same time, the full tires also have a certain cushioning effect, which is more comfortable.

    Why is a bicycle wrap bad?

    Bicycle wrapping can prevent the frame from being bumped. However, once the bike gets wet, water can seep through the cracks of the cloth or plastic bands, and the paint on the frame will be affected and wrinkled. In addition, plastic tapes can also age when exposed to sunlight. It also affects the topcoat of the frame, causing it to peel off.

    Why does an automatic absorbent pen absorb water?

    It should be generic.

    It is best to pay attention to whether the mountain fork can be locked, whether it is wire controlled or hand-controlled, whether there is a base for disc brakes, how long the head tube is, the travel of shock absorption, etc

    It's not universal, it mainly depends on what kind of category the bike is, and the fork is different depending on the size category.

    1.Secure the fork first.

    2.Unscrew the two screws at the bottom of the fork with the hexagon corner, and gently knock it down with a hammer when it reaches 5mm, continue to screw off the screws after knocking, and pull hard to separate the fork barrel from the inner tube (pay attention to the oil that comes out and don't stain the ground).

    3.Use a big wrench to unscrew the right shoulder fork, and if possible, you can buy some special fork oil (5w or 7w) to add to the damping chamber and replace the original oil.

    4.You can also unscrew the left shoulder fork, which is a big spring, and if possible, you can smear some butter on the spring.

    5.Looking at the fork barrel, it is generally to pour out the oil inside and then add new oil. It must be a dedicated 15W, generally 15 to 20mm.

    6.The kind of waterproof oil that is sealed at the oil seal can be reinstalled. Then tighten the screws on the bottom of the fork and you're good to go.

    1. Unscrew the screws above the fork.

    2. Use 21 mm or slightly smaller than this size of the inch type sleeve head to unscrew the screw above, note: never use the live mouth.

    3. Turn over the body after opening and pour out the damping and lubricating oil in the tube.

    4. Take out the spring inside.

    This one has to be replaced, because if it is bent too much, the metal will be fatigued and it will become very soft. It's cheap to change an aluminum front fork, a hundred dollars is enough, and the carbon fork is cheap for three or four hundred.

    Bicycle forks are an important part of connecting the wheels to the frame. Proper installation of the fork can ensure a smooth and safe ride, and here are the steps to install the fork

    Step 1: Prepare tools and materials.

    The tools and materials that need to be prepared are: wrenches, torque wrenches, scales, forks, and frames.

    Step 2: Remove the old fork.

    Use a wrench and torque wrench to remove the original fork on the frame, and if there are tick marks on the fork, you can record it first for later installation.

    Step 3: Install the new fork.

    Install a new fork on the frame, making sure the fork fits snugly against the frame and doesn't wobble. Use a torque wrench to tighten according to the torque value required by the fork manufacturer.

    Step 4: Adjust the fork position.

    Adjust the position of the fork in the frame so that the wheels are in balance with the frame and fine-tune according to the previously recorded scale marks.

    Step 5: Install the wheels.

    Install the wheels on the fork and use a wrench and torque wrench for tightening.

    Step 6: Conduct a final check-up.

    Confirm that the fork is mounted correctly, that the wheels are able to rotate freely, and that the connection points between the frame and the fork are tight.

    The above steps are just a basic fork installation process, if there is a specific fork type and frame design, you need to follow the installation instructions provided by the manufacturer to install. Proper fork installation can improve riding comfort and safety, and it is recommended to seek professional help when installing the fork or refer to the relevant installation instructions.

    Dismantle step 1, release the V brake, hold the left and right calipers with your hand to make the upper end close to the other hand to talk about the brake wire part to pull up, and the V brake can be released.

    2. Unload the V brake, use an Allen screwdriver to twist the two screws of the V brake seat, and the screws will be unscrewed and the V brake caliper can be pulled out.

    3. Loosen the bowl lid, use an Allen screwdriver to screw the screw on the bowl cover, and the screw is unscrewed, and the bowl cover can be removed.

    4. Loosen the stem, use an Allen screwdriver to unscrew off the two screws on the stem, and remove the stem together with the stem (there is no need to remove the stem from the stem, just remove the stem).

    5. Remove the washer under the stem, you don't need any tools to take the washer.

    6. The fork can basically be removed from the frame, if it doesn't work, use a hammer to knock down the fork upper tube a few times.

    The new fork needs to be cut first - smash the new - remove the bottom stop on the old fork and install it on the new fork, and the tools needed are hammers, hacksaws, and some special tools. You can go to ** search for fork tools four words, and there will be a few selling sets. Dozens of dollars a set, the workmanship and good can not be compared, but it is estimated that it is not a big problem to use three or five times, how to use these tools have instructions, and the store will teach you.

    The forks are done and then restored in the order of 6 to 1.

    When you first remove the front handlebar and vertical rod of the bicycle, you need to remove the hexagonal screw in the center, take off the chuck, take off the front handle and vertical rod, unscrew the fixing nut, and remove the fork It is not good to transfer the picture, and I found a ** for you, you can take a look at it clearly.

    Remove the handlebars, stems, and V-brakes on the fork, and hammer the fork tube of the fork from top to bottom. Loading is the opposite.

    Tip, if you install it yourself, remember to buy a bowl set, because the core is basically impossible to take out in the old fork. Also, the fork pipe of the fork will be long, and you have to buy a pipe cutter to cut off the excess part of the fork pipe.
