Re: [RBW] Re: FS:. 58 cm Hunqapillar Fork for 26" Wheels

2020-08-14 Thread Matthew P 
Thanks for the pics and info Conway.
My idea to apply this to a 700c Atlantis is dumb because the difference 
between 700c and 26" is too great.  To have equal total wheel size (wheel + 
tire), I'd have to run a skinny tire in the back and a 2.2"+ up front.  
Nope.
Thanks though.  Cool stuff.  
If I knew a Hunqapillar fork was the biggest piece of a Hunqapillar I'd 
ever get to own, I might purchase it for that reason alone :-p

 Neat.
 How wide a tire will it accept?
 How would it work with a 58 cm Toyo Atlantis?
 I wonder if I could stick this on and get wider than 2.2" for the 
 unexpected sandpit on the trail.
 Probably a bad idea but might as well find out.
 Thanks

2020-08-14 Thread Conway Bennett 
The 1993 XO-2 has very tight clearance by current standards which is what
instigated the initial fork project.  The XO-2 I had was basically NOS and
I also ended up with a 1994 XO-3 that had seen some use.  I treated the
XO-2 too preciously and I wanted a daily driver which is why I kept the
XO-3.  Around the same time I bought a 650b Hunqapillar so I never used the
fork again.

 I had a 58 cm Hunqapillar fork modified by comrade cycles in Chicago to

 from Chicagoland and it's yours.  Thanks in advance.

Oh interesting. I just starting building my Bridgestone XO-2 was a little 
disappointed in the tight clearance at the fork. Looked great on yours! Any 
reason in particular you weren't satisfied with the swap?

Matt,

I added two pictures of the bike I had it mounted on for reference.  I am
not sure how the fit will be on a Toyo Atlantis but I was running 26 x 2.15
smart Sam's on cliffhanger rims with a lot of clearance.  This is also a
good project for someone who wants to modify it further to accept disc
brakes.
