Advice on Replacement Disk Brake Fork for Baron   Message List  
Reply | Forward Message #2444 of 2457 |
G'day Baron owners,

I'm looking for a replacement fork, 1 1/8" steerer, for my 06 Optima Baron.

I'm currently using the Optima aluminium alloy disk brake fork. I'm replacing my
crankset with a much narrower Q factor double crankset, which results in a much
narrower chainline than previously.

I need to gain 10mm extra clearance.

The VK2 Carbon Fibre disk brake fork appears to be a good candidate, but I
haven't seen one in the flesh.

The VK2 fork geometry would suit. I'd be very interested to know the distance
from the side of a Stelvio or equivalent 28mm tyre to the outside of the VK2
fork leg on the drive side. Hoping for around 25mm??

Anyone have any knowledge, or fitted this fork to a Baron, or have a VK2 with
disk brake as part of their collection so they could measure for me?

Thanks for any help.

Cheers, Simon
Victoria, Australia
