Thanks for the information about the steerer tube. I just want to be certain that I'm ordering a fork that will work. If I could figure out how to post pictures on here, I'd post a picture of my bicycle along with a close up of the existing shock and the "26x2.10 30 TPI CASING 40-65PSI" on it.
The existing fork is a Rock Shox Dart 2, which have garbage reviews online. I'm having trouble getting the lockout feature to work....the bike just bobs up and down when I want to turn the fork off with the little "lockout" dial. |
Not that this helps any but my previous commuter originally had the Dart which I replaced for a rigid within a year or so. And the rigid was better! On my current Cannondale commuter bike I actually installed a rigid 29er fork.
The info you posted above was the tire size width and type. Nothing to do with the fork except it confirms you have a 26 tire and hence fork. You want to make sure your steerer diameter choice is correct AND also the length so it has enough to enter your frame and come above your headset far enough for your stem to be installed properly.
You can also consider changing your fork to a more readily available 27.5 or 29 fork provided you are just riding casual paths and not a hucker. Note this would bring your front end up to a more relaxed position too. Yes you could use the same wheel you have but ideally you would match your wheel. Yes my commuter is a mullet (29 in front, 26 in rear) and Ive ridden this for over 10 years.
