Can I replace rigid fork with suspension?
Technically yes
. You would need to get a fork with a straight steerer (looks like its standard 1 1/8′′) that was long enough for the frame, probably a 9mm QR dropout (although you wheel is a solid axle, not QR). You would be best with a fork of 80 or 100mm travel or you would upset the bike geometry.
Can you put a suspension fork on a road bike?
Rear shocks and suspension forks are the norm on mountain bikes, but
their design is of limited use for road bikes
. A fork (or shock) would negatively affect the weight and the performance of a road bike and it would noticeably change the geometry of the bike during compression.
How do you press in headset?
How does a bicycle headset work?
The headset is the interface between the fork to the bike frame, holding it securely in place while allowing it to rotate to steer
. While the interface requires lateral stiffness to withstand riding loads, including cornering, braking and potholes, it also needs to be rotationally free for steering.
How do you make a bike headset?
How do I know if my fork fits my bike?
The main thing you need to look for is
the steerer size
. Most Mtb headtube is 1.1/8′′, a few are 1.5′′ or the combo of the two, tapered steerer. So as long as the fork is 1.1/8′′ you are good to go.
How do I know if my fork will fit my road bike?
How do I know my bike fork size?
The length of the fork is usually measured parallel to the steerer tube from the bottom of the lower bearing race to the center of the front wheel axle
. A 1996 survey of 13 700c road forks found a maximum length of 374.7 mm and a minimum of 363.5 mm.
