Sorted Syncros Powerlite fork 1" x 155mm

[ajw573]

Hello!
I am after a Syncros Powerlite fork with a 1" threaded steerer to complete an early 1990 Merlin mountain build. If anyone has one spare that they are not likely to use I would be very grateful.
Cheers,
Andy

Get in line and join the queue!

I've been waiting for some 5 or 6 years now, so I wouldn't hold my breath....

I didn’t think it would take you long to comment.

And I still use my syncros forks clamped into a stand, upside down as my front wheelbuilding tool.
And that's where it stays, it does the job well.
(not 1")

Is it more expensive than a Park TS stand yet?

So, what are you using to measure the trueness of the wheel that you are truing? Or are you just doing it by eye?

I'm going with cable ties on the fork legs!

An round head Allen key through a DX canti for the main part, it's adjustable (take the spring out) up and down the rim side as needed and distance is easy to set, the round head creates a point and the sound can easily be heard.

For lateral it works excellently.
And turn wheel over and adjust in, then when near center I can do it by eye with the Allen key.
No need for fancy plastic cables ties.
Could fit one of the fancy gauge meters, but I prefer sound and eyes.

That sounds far better!

I'm still looking but appreciate I might not be the only one! Anyone...?

You're not the only one... see my reply from last year.

I've been looking for more than 6 years now, so hopefully, I'm ahead in the queue for some...
