The forks steerer tube is 1' but with the INCLUDED 1' to 1 1/8' adapter. Up for auction is a used but super clean vintage GIRVIN AL Linkage Suspension Fork with Noleen Shock Absorber and ProFlex Stem for Mountain Bikes with a 1 1/8' threadless head tube diameter. Vintage K2 Pro Flex GIRVIN AL w/ Noleen Shock mountain bike suspension fork used.
Good rebuildable shocks are out there but not cheep. Plus they are not rebuildable. They don't have the best damping for a lay down. However, they are not the best for long travel, lay down suspension. They are fine for a 4 inch travel bike.
Noleen Shocks Vintage Plus Side Of
On the plus side of Progressives. Don't get me wrong, they make a fine shock, but if it is set up wrong, it is bad. I have used Works and been disappointed.
In my experience they are only suitable for a show bike that will not be ridden or a bike that will only be very lightly ridden. In 2007 when I started Vintage racing, I blew up 4 sets of Progressives in 4 months, and that was on a 4" travel bike. I actually like the damping and the overall performance of the Progressives is very good, but they are just not durable enough. $$$ BTW, I know he wants rebuildable, Brian just insulted everyone who uses Progressives.I disagree 100%. If you get used shocks, keep in mind if they need to built, different springs, different valving.
K2 4500 Thermoplastic Carbon Fiber - Noleen Racing Cross-link Smart Shock Fork. I have also had good results with Noleens and Ohlins.VINTAGE PRO FLEX 656 26ER FULL SUSPENSION NOLEEN CROSS LINK EXP FRAME SET 20'. The same bike I bought a set of base steel body Works Performance and they are still working perfectly without a rebuild after being on several different bikes since 2007 when I got them.
Since I started doing that every pair of Works have been perfect. They typically come underdamped and under sprung so what I always do is when you talk to them or send in the information form, I always list my weight as 20-30lbs more than I really weigh.
