Replacing Fork on 2001 Diamondback Sorrento
#12
Lets back up a bit, the new headtubes can be tapered, bigger at the top and bottom than in the middle,this means the bearing races are internal and flush with the headtube. The base of the mosso fork is larger like the flared headtube using the internal cartridge bearing and i could not guarantee compatibility of the mosso fork with the straight headtube. the external races may rub and not seat on the large area of the fork. that is why I back pedaled a bit after I had posted the mosso because of miss leading info and did not want to give wrong information. I will try to post pics of the two types to better show what I mean
There are two kinds of people in the world, "Those who help themselves to people, and those who help people!"
