Changing telescopic form on Trek hybrid to straight forks

fixie fox · 2013-04-20 18:16:45

I have an nice old Trek 7300FX Alpha SL with forks like the one here They are heavy and an not working very well I think, and I'm thinking of changing them to plain old forks. Is it possible to get a fork and brake to suit (cheapish) the frame, and what kind of spec or description would I be looking for? Any source?…

Anybody got something suitable second-hand (would probably like to keep the bare aluminium look that they have got).

Thanks ......

If you wanted to go cheap you could call into your local shop and see if they had asecond hand forks and just use your existing wheel and brakes.
