The importance of curved forks is to act as shock absorbers while that of the rake is to decrease distance covered from the ground to the navigation axis. The steering axis is placed in front of the fork by the offset by carving the blades onward or positioning the fork heads forward of the blade’s centerline. The steerer tube has a diameter of 28.6 mm and it’s tapered at the end ensuring it’s stiffer and less flexible to keep on holding its grip on the wheel. It has a width of 110mm achieved by measuring it collinear with the axel of the front wheel between the internal edges of the fork ends. It has a length of 29 inches whose measurements end at the center of the axel in the front wheel and begin from the lower end of the bearing at the bottom in a parallel manner. Mountain bikes have larger wheels hence require less offset to reduce the wheel tendency to fill out. Always ensure you check the size of the wheel before considering the angle of the frame to determine offset.Ī head-angle that is slack goes well with forks having more offset while large wheels require little rake than small ones. The fork is composed of offset, length of the steer tube, length, width, and diameter of the steer tube. It’s highly durable and can last you a lifetime of cycles with the ease of weighing 5.7lbs. It’s highly ductile enabling it to resist high pressure that may lead to deformation. The upper part is steel made offering high strength and toughness to the bicycle attachment. It has an added advantage over other forks with its ability to get serviced hence used for longer periods. It isn’t prone to corrosion due to the formation of an oxide layer that prevents rusting. This ensures you don’t feel too much weight when steering ahead. The lower part is composed of aluminum, which is lightweight but offers high strength to breakage when compared to steel with three times the density it has.
