How do you know what forks fit what bike

orienteerstu55

I know this is a stupid question and i feel like an idiot asking. I have a carrera fury 2010 model, but i don't know what sizes the starer tube or the other measure forks have. could any1 explain what the other measure is? and perhaps what mine are if you know the fork is a suntour epicon

Thanks all help welcome

sorry its so stupid - you gotta start somewhere i guess

you need a 1 1/8" steerer and the steerer length needs to be either the same or longer than what you currently have - brand new forks will be fine though.

Remember if changing forks, you will need to remove the crown race from the bottom of the steerer on the old forks and refit onto the new forks.

This would be a superb upgrade, but the Epicons are good forks.

Also, what axle do you have?

You need the new forks dropouts to match your hub.

I'm still unsure about the 1.5" bit. is this the measurement of the diameter of the fork steerer tube or is it the angle.

1 1/8" - diameter of the steerer tube.

You bike does not have a 1.5" steerer. ( 1.5 inch)

Try reading Parktools and Sheldon Browns pages for more Infos.
