I saw Frosty's thread on Forks which got me thinking - i need a pair of Changa Forks for a frame i've just acquired....

These are gonna be hard to source, so what else can I use??

anyone have experience of this

I think the nearest are going to be the mongoose forks, see the pic below (same one used in my GHP thread)

thanks Frosty,

I haven't got the VDC yet, but I think it uses a 5" threaded fork ?

all this 4" & 5" fork thing does my head in, they look very similar eh !
