how do they work then? if you wanted to use them with a 1" threaded frame, does the bit that goes in the frame come with them or do they clamp to this? if so, could you use donor (

) forks and cut the shaft off to be used with the clamps on the hanebrinks? what other alternatives are there?

am i aking too much?

cheers daz

Hey Daz, I doubt whether these forks come with a threaded steerer tube, probs just threadless. The steerer tube will surely be pressed into the bottom crown, so would be difficult to substitute. Much like modern mountain bike triple clamp forks. May be difficult to use these with a threaded head tube frame.

Have a look on the bay,Halfords/Toys R us etc for cheap kids DH/moto x style 20" MTBs & see how the forks on those are constructed.Maybe you could butcher/adapt a pair to fit?
