First is the class of these forks, elastomer forks ? Also how do I strip these down further ? And chances of finding replacement seals ?
Thanks

Probably will have to replace the headset also. Pic of what you have may help. fork rake/offset probably will not be much of a concern, just make sure it is for the correct rim size. If threadless it will give plenty room to make height adjustments to your stem before cutting the steer tube.
When I did mine I took the old shocks forks into the LBS and he order them and cut the headset to length.
It wasn't expensive but cannot remember if it was $25 or $40.

If you want a cheap saw guide you can find a couple crappy stems somewhere, set on your tube, slide another crappy stem on the width of your saw blade and lock them down, then make your cut between the two stems. Clean up the cut and you are good to go!

The parts that were in the frame are the cup races for the bearings. Your new headset will have them and you will need to press them in. easy to make a press yourself. This is much better than trying to use a board and hammer(09-28-2015, 06:52 PM)painkiller Wrote: I would just replace the headset to on this mod. Start fresh.
