Hi all

Well, second week back on a bike after almost a year n half off and already crashed the bloody thing.

Bought a second hand 2012 team boardman http://www.bicycling.com/sites/default/ ... carbon.jpg

Snapped the forks in 2 and cant' for the life of me find a new set. Anyone know what forks could work with this bike?? Not bothered what they are, just need to get back out there.

Think the boardman ones have a tapered steerer (1 1/2" at the bottom to 1 1/8" at the top)

Any links/help on this would be appreciated

Cheers

    According to the wiggle site, the 2011/2 bike is a 1-1/8 1-1/4 tapered steerer.

    I would suggest getting a fork from one of the online firms that will let you return it free if it's not right. That way, you can lay it out against the old fork and compare the rake etc.

    I love the 3T Rigida forks. But can be a bit pricey. Winstanley sell the stealth version at the 'team' price so that's the cheapest place for the matt black version.
