How to buy a new suspension fork for a mountain bike Hardtail
A year ago I bought an entry level mountain bike rigid. At that time I did not want to spend much money and I did not want poor quality. So I can buy a bike that had a good framework and basic components.
After riding for a year I decided that I want to improve the convenience and control of the bike on the track. So decided to upgrade the suspension fork front of my rigid mountain bike.
My initial research concluded that There are a lot of different brands, types and sizes of forks on the market as he admitted he knew I needed help. After all, suspension forks are expensive and I do not want to waste my money.
After talking to different routes, employees in a few bike shops, read the article and questions online publication put together a couple of bullets to consider when buying a front suspension fork.
-
Determine if the bike is the geometry to support a suspension fork. If you have the correct geometry fork trying to determine the maximum height that can accommodate. I about to buy a fork with 160mm travel, but the salesman convinced me that do not buy it because I thought that my bike did not have the correct geometry. After consulting I set the factory that was right.
-
Consider your driving style. Are you a cross country, fall or pilot Dirt Jump. Be sure to buy a fork that suites your driving style. This will help prevent you buy more then you need to fork.
-
Determine your budget and stick to it. Suspension forks can vary in price and can be very expensive. However, if you ride often spend a little more than a fork can be guaranteed.
-
Determine the size of the address bar bikes. The pipe size may limit your selection. Is your steerer inch 1 inch or 1 1 / 8, etc?
-
Consider buying a suspension fork is adjustable. Some forks are adjustable to the head and some have a pop lock adjuster that mounts on the handlebars. Adjustment function will take into account different land mount.
-
Determine if you need to buy new parts to install your new fork. Need a new headset mother, or the brakes?
-
Consider the cost of installing a new fork. If you are installing the same fork have to click on a bearing and potentially reduce the bath fork. This could lead to additional tools and time so you want to discuss your options.
-
Find out what your friends are riding and ask their opinion about the brand, and options. Ask if you can ride your bike to test his fork.
-
Want to buy new or used? Some drivers buy big bikes, upgrade immediately and never use the original parts. You can find nearly new or new parts Bicycle Servant lists mountain bike classifieds contains Bikes for sale, bike parts and racing.
Consider the list above will help you get started in your decision making and there are more elements to consider when exploring your options.
The above tips will hopefully help narrow down your choices before buying a fork again. Good luck and see you on the road.
