Yes no probs if you get the correct headset."Do not follow where the path may lead, Go instead where there is no path, and Leave a Trail."

They will fit.
From the frame link:
HEAD SET 1 - 1/8 integrated 1 - 1/8 integrated 1 - 1/8 integrated 1 - 1/8 integrated
From the fork link:
Steerer Diameter: 1.1/8"
Just make sure you get an integrated headset.0 -
Thanks. Do you recommend any?0

Suspension forks in a road frame? Disc front and calliper rear brakes?Currently riding a Whyte T130C, X0 drivetrain, Magura Trail brakes converted to mixed wheel size (homebuilt wheels) with 140mm Fox 34 Rhythm and RP23 suspension. 12.2Kg.0

Cant I fit V-Brakes on them no?0
-
Nope, both the frame and the fork have no V brake mounts.0
-
Ok I will only have a rear calliper then. Will this headset work?

Calliper brakes are pretty useless with MTB tyres, getting clogged with mud and taking wheels out is a pain, also the frame will only take a 700c/29er rear wheel and the fork is longer than the frame is designed to take, just get the right frame!
Road frames will probably not take a tyre even as wide as a XC tyre as well!

Just add to my earlier reply. Yes they will fit.liamcolton wrote:Hello I just need a little help because I am going to build a bike. I need to no if these forks will fit my frame?

But you will not have a bike that us fit for anything really.
As has been said it is a road frame. So no V brakes or discs ( an MTB rear hub will not fit either) no replaceable hanger.
Incorrect geometry fir use with a suspension fork. Not to mention poor cable routing for getting dirty.
I really hope that you have not actually bought both as they really should not be put together."Do not follow where the path may lead, Go instead where there is no path, and Leave a Trail."

Link 1 is a 700c road frame
Link 2 is a 26" mtb suspension fork
Probably not the best combo.0 -

I think this might be better, although you might be better off getting a second hand frame from ebay or the like0 -
Be aware that a overly long suspension fork could void the warranty and result in frame failure too, as well as handling like shite0
-
Also worth mentioning that most mountain bike wheels wont fit in a road bike frame due to the different widths of the rear hub/axle.0

This could be an epic build.0

Are you mental?0
