Questions & Answers
The tires I run on this fork are 25 mm. Although it doesn't appear like there will be adequate room for a 28 mm, it may still be possible. In my case, there is about 5 mm of clearance around my 25 mm tire. Depending on the profile of the 28 mm tire you use, you may need additional clearance.
Usually, they have a length of 300mm. As for cutting it to fit, you will need to do so. It is not always the same length for all headtubes. In this way, you can easily adjust the handlebar height to suit your own needs. Taking it to an experienced bike shop is the best option if you are not comfortable with this. It is possible to see how to do this on YouTube.
There is no threadless headset on this fork, but the billet aluminum steerer uses a fanged nut, which typically comes with threadless headsets. For only a few dollars, you can purchase a star nut. A star nut setter, on the other hand, is used to drive the star nut into the steerer tube along with a rubber mallet, as well.
I prefer 45mm or 43mm

I have a hard time finding a retro-compatible carbon fork that fits perfectly. The refurbished Lemond I have now has a killer looking carbon fork, and is modernized and spotless!.
Since I bought this fork over nine months ago, I've used it a lot. This is what I bought to upgrade to a threadless setup, so yeah, I'd recommend you buy it immediately if you can afford it. With this upgrade, you can maintain the look and performance of your bike and improve the overall ride experience. I have been wanting to do this since threaded headsets became the standard for road bikes. I bought all the parts for my upgrade from A headset, stem, and spacers are included. Getting things done is so much easier thanks to Amazon.
I am glad I found it for my old bike. I am satisfied.
This is excellent. I love the way it looks as well as how The paper is rigid, but smooth.
For the money, this is a good fork. An older bike comes with few options when it comes to 1" head tubes. If you need replacement forks due to missing or broken parts, then this is a good upgrade. Despite its lightweight, it is highly durable. My favorite Ritchey products are those made by Ritchey.
I noticed a lot of improvement in the ride quality after upgrading my road bike, and the fork performs I think it's a good idea as well! Here's an update I have had this fork for ten seasons and am still amazed at its performance, excellent ride and road damping in my vintage Ti frame.
You can buy Ritchey products on Ritchey's website, but you can also order from Amazon easily.
The product was delivered to my house on Thursday after I ordered it on Monday. It was installed quickly by the bike shop where I get most of my products, and I was back on my bike in no time.
