Does the Viper accommodate road as well as mountain bike forks? thx

Yes it does. I use both types of bikes on my Viper mount. Just have to make a simple adjustment on the skewer by turning it in or out.

Yes, I use the Viper for my two road bikes, one carbon frame and one steel frame. They both survived a trip across the country with no problems.

I believe the question arises from the need to replace the fork. The Hybrid 700C fork is a good piece of steel but may reduce your wheelbase. This bike has always been a twitchy and front responsive machine. Perhaps too responsive. Use a top quality headset and if you don't have the tools, have it installed for you and pay the mechanic gratefully and tip him too. Ride On

Everything is with the headset that you will need to swap forks, we had no problems swapping forks on my sons bike.

If the diameter of the bar fits the stem on your bike it will work great for touring. I don't know that it is tested for the kind of abuse that a true mountain bike bar but from a touring use I love this setup.

i believe so . go to viper.com and get the main contact of COPORATE OFIICE and ask them your question .. give them any reason just to get thru to of what they might be concered of ..and let me know im curious aswell . i think any viper should be good with any vehicle mayb besides motorcyles and or 18 wheelers this modele at least with bikes

It depends on the low rider rack. The Sunlite mounts to your v-brake/canti brake bosses and the reflector mount at the top of the fork where the fork legs come togeather.

http://www.srsuntour-cycling.com/home/ talk to sun tour and they should be able to send what you need. I don't think you will need parts for them. I use my forks for down hill and they are still as good as I bought them!

probably not.I used this handlebar on a Trek 7.4 FX. It had Shimano Acera brake levers and shifters.You could probably use most shifters and brake levers that are found on bikes with straight handlebars.I don't think typical road bike brake levers would work with this handlebar.

Most front suspension forks have canti brake mounts (the eyelets on both sides of the fork). If so, it should work, but I must stress that your going to have to do a bit of adjusting/tinkering to fit it the way you want.

Yakima makes an adapter called the "T-Axle Adapter" that attaches to this rack in order for you to use thru-axle (circular) forks.

It's very likely that the Spitfire will fit your bike. I switched form the spitfire to the Viper. The Spitfire doesn't deflect enough air in any position to keep my helmet either out of the wind, or from being buffeted by dirty air coming off of the windscreen. I didn't like that, so I switched. I'm still working on adjustments to the Viper, so I can't comment much on it yet, but it's larger and wider, which helps reduce helmet noise.

Hey yes this fork will accept disc brakes or rim brakes. Let us know if you have any other questions! - Worldwide Cyclery

I fully agree with this statement. I purchased this bike for the frame, fork, seat post, stem. I have had to upgrade the crankset, handlebars, seats, tires, tubes, peddles. They are not of quality. I now have to upgrade the bottom bracket as the bearings just shattered.

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.

no the only suspension is on the forks but I think the diamondback sport dose

All my research tells me this is not a fork for a "stumpjumper" unless that is just a glorified name for your normal MTB. Suggest you go online and search for forks specific to your bike.

You will need a Thru-Axle adapter to accommodate your fork. These are available in a variety of sizes, the most common being 15mm and 20mm.
