I have a DUO 26" Beach Cruiser Spring Front Fork. Does anyone know if the cable is long enough to reach the wheel when using such a fork?

No! But if you like the product you can buy a auto speed cable that will work for your purpose alright!

the cable reaches with an extra inch or so of slack on my rigid 26" beach cruiser fork, it might reach on your springer but the chances are pretty slim

It is suppose to handle up to 27" Mine is a Huffy 26" and after the installation I could still move my handlebars back and forth without any problem and the speedometer odometer can be put anywhere on your handlebars, I have mine closest to the center. Hope this helps Heisenburgos

I have the same bike and yes it will work I purchased the meter and works great

if the original cable doesn't reach, you will need to buy a universal cable with housing and custom fit it. the end result will be nice. I do it all the time when it needs to be done.

If your bike has a standard 26" front wheel, I don't see any reason that it wouldn't work better than on a regular 26" bike. Biggest problem I have had is the weight of the batteries above the rear wheel creating an unstable higher center of gravity for the bike. Switching to Li-ion batteries should solve my problem but they are very expensive batteries. Using a trike should solve that problem nicely.

Are you sure your threaded fork is 1 1/8"? This is meant for a 1" steer tube. If your steer tube is really 1 1/8", I don't think the wedge bolt is ever going to get tight enough. If you're only going to cruise with it, maybe worth a try. If it's going off-road ever, you're MUCH better off getting a new un-threaded fat bike fork.

By the way this is for 9mm axle only on a 26" tire.Hi Roberto,Yes. It will fit on your bike. The steerer tube diameter is 1 1/8 inches which matches your frame tube size. You have to watch out on your front wheel hub axle specification (9mm, 15mm, 20mm etc...) though and make sure it matches too. I am enjoying my ride so far with this fork (adjusted to 140mm). Good luck bro and enjoy your ride as well!

You could, but the front of your bike may set higher than the rear. The fork is for a taller wheel.

It would work in theory (no scientific reason against) but the cable may be too short. I eyeballed it on my street bike with 26" tires and a 21" frame and it looks maybe 1 ft. too short. However, Brian Lewis below got it to work on his bike, so it's case by case.

3 factors other than length to consider. 1. Will they physically fit, or will the springs be rubbing against frame, fender, etc., 2. Is the mounting bolts or pins the same width and length. If not, at best you'll have premature and excessive wear of the components involved, at worst, death. 3. Is the length of travel the same or very similar, the bike is designed for certain tolerances, if you extend the travel of the rear wheel you may find that something like a brake line or drive belt isn't long enough to accommodate the additional travel. I am not a mechanic, just an enthusiast trying to help.

The piece that normally goes on the front fork & the small diameter piece that fits onto a spoke "should" work on the back...as long as you have room to place these two small pieces ( most likely on the opposite side of gears). The piece for the fork has a "zip tie" style to lock in place. I had no trouble installing myself BUT do use the instruction booklet to set your recommended tire size to get accurate reading. Easy use & easy application ....

This fork will fit your frame/wheels but this is technically not the correct fork. Your frame uses G2 geometry which is a 51mm offset fork and this is a a 46mm offset fork. Teh result is that this fork will make your bike's steering a lot more sluggish.

I have had a friend's 3.8'' on it with my DH bike, front tire sits high in the cradle but didn't move on the 4h drive when it was locked in properly.

All depends if your cruiser has lugs for mounting fenders on the frame. Those lugs are holes on top and threaded holes on the bottom of the fork in front and on the chain stay in the rear. Cruisers should be fitted for after-market fender mounting, but in case of doubt ask a bike shop or someone who has knowledge of those things. And yes, they'll fit 26" wheels with standard or MTB tires. If you have over sized tires (=very fat "Beach Cruiser tires") on your bike there might be some issues with the clearance, tough.

G'day Dan. I have no idea what type of bike that is, but if I was you I would just go to the SRAM/RockShox website for advice on the bikes and types of riding that this fork would suit. Regards, Paul. PS: I haven't even got the darn forks fitted to my own bike yet, so don't have a clue about performance - apart from what I've read.

The fork will fit any bike with 29-inch wheels. You need to cut the steering tube to the desired length - any bike shop will install it.

That's a great question, and I'm not 100% positive, but I'd doubt it. This is a basic XC fork, so 100mm is sufficient for what it's designed for. You can replace the springs for stiffness, say if you are a heavier rider and/or want less cushion, but as far as extending the travel, again, I would be 99% sure that's not possible. The RockShox Revelation is adjustable, but I think you would need a thru-axle vs. the QR for that fork. But I'm not a mechanic, so you may want to ring your local bike shop to be sure. Just make sure they carry SRAM/RockShox so they know what they're talking about.

I think so. Depending on the length of the head tube on the frame you may have to cut the steer tube (Carefully with a hack saw) on the fork and or add/subtract a spacer or two. You can find youtube videos on cutting the tube if you have to.

Yes, it will fix that size bike, you have to cut the stirrer to fit the frame. But I would go with a higher quality fork.I use it on my bad weather bike, which works fine, but not for hardcore riding.

Hey as long as the front hub is for a 9mm QR and the headtube is straight 1-1/8 then you should be good to use this fork!
