Wide or narrow, long or short………….

[Jem Wilcox]

……..it is not only people that come in a variety of shapes and sizes. Scott 2-speeder front forks do as well and, just like with people, the perfect dimensions seem to exist only in photographs in magazines!
A long-winded way of saying ‘HELP’. Does anyone have a set of long-steering head, wide forks for sale or exchange?
The forks which came with my 1926 2-speed Super Squirrel were long-steering head narrow ones which did not fit the wide wheel and mudguard. I managed to exchange these for a set of wide forks but, by the law of Someone Old and Demented, the new ones were for a short steering head.
So I have a set of wide, short forks to exchange. I might, possibly, be able to lay my hands on the narrow, long ones again so I might have those for exchange. Can anyone help with a set of wide, long ones?
Alternatively, if I could get the narrow long ones back, does anyone have a complete (inc. brake and brake plate) narrow front wheel for sale?
Thanking you all in anticipation – and I am holding my breath.

Hi Jem

Roger Moss did a batch if stems a while back. Worth checking if he made any spares.

Whatever route you go down make sure you check the stem for cracks VERY carefully.

I ended up having to machine an LE velo hub to fit my narrow forks – but its a very wady bit of turning. Not original but will get you going.

Jem,
Barry Jackson is the man you need to contact. There is nothing that he doesn’t know about Scott girder forks and he may well have the spares that you require.
Barry re-built my Scott kite forks completely and did a fantastic job.
His telephone number is 01323 500689.
Chris.

I have a few high strength stems if you do not find a cheaper way Roger Moss
