Carbon Road Bike Fork

Road bike and carbon fork upgrade?

Feb 07, 372 by Mac | Posted in Cycling

So my starter road bike is a Trek 1000 (manufactured in 2000). I just graduated college so I can't really afford to buy a new bike at the moment but am interested in possibly doing a carbon fork upgrade. I would like advice on sizing and whether or not

The bike has a quill type stem and a threaded fork, so it is probably 1". Carbon forks in this size are getting hard to find, and since you don't give the frame size, it is difficult to determine steerer length. You would probably need to change

There is a bike that I saw on sale called a Tommaso. My dad said to find out if it was a real bike or just a fony. I wanted to know if the bike is a real deal, and they won't ship a piece of junk to my house......Please, any answer are accepted!!!! Thanks

Fine bikes at a good price. No worries.

ITM 'Visia' Carbon Forks
Ok for up to 700x28c Tyres : If mudguards are to be fitted then approx 700x25c tyre.
Weigh in at a approx 580 grams!!.
Alloy Steerer in 1-1/8" :ok for both non-intergrated and intergrated headset systems.

As long as you have 1 1/8 steerer now it'll work. I'm sure it'll fit 25 and very likely 28 tires. I looked at the fork on-line and it has tabs for a mud guard so I assume they made clearance for one.

One thing is at 580 it's a heavy carbon

Are these a good set of road bike wheels?

You don't mention if the fork is the type you need (I assume you know this). If it fits, it's a very good fork. Be certain you need a 1 1/8 steerer and 230mm is long enough for your bike.

I'm not familiar with the wheels. I've seen these

Some advice: Take it to a bike shop and have them put it together for you..This w...

      I bought this bike to upgrade from my GMC Denali Road Bike(30lbs) that I had previously bought on amazon. My goal was to get a lighter bike to go faster. I had done 2 previouse triathlons with the Denali and also wanted to improve my time. Plus, I was tired of people making fun of me with the Denali. Review by T. Lewis (USA) 2009-11-18
