Tapered CF Forks: 47 and 50mm rake?

[false_Aest]

Enve makes a 43mm
3T makes a 46mm.
Easton makes a 43mm.

Does any company make both a 47 and a 50?

If not, talk to me about possible solutions.


Yes, tapered forks are stupid for road bikes. That's not my question.

The Enve CX forks are 47. Not sure if that applies.

I was gonna say you're into cx fork territory at those numbers typically. What is the reason for the more rake, is it a toe overlap problem, or trying to improve higher speed steering? Something else altogether?

[pinoymamba]

the newer cannondale forks have a 50mm.

I'd like to improve higher speed steering.

If Cannondale and SpecialEd can make a 53-ish race frame with under 60mm trail . . .

Steerer diameter 1 1/8" ??

Am I on the wrong page?

Too funny! I'm old school and thought you meant tapered legs/blades. NVM

Depending on the frame, Chris King makes a headset where you can use a normal 1 1/8inch fork on an oversized headtube type frame.

Yep…If you want to go this route, Cane Creek also has reducer crown races to run 1.125" straight and 1.25" tapered forks in the larger 1.5" bearing/cup.

I was going to run an Enve 1.125 this way on my new custom, but decided to give a Cannondale SuperSix fork, that I picked up on the cheap, a whirl.

As already mentioned, Cannondale spec'd a 50 rake on their smaller sized frames, and their full CF forks are quite nice…the uncut 1.5 tapered SS Hi-Mod model weighs 350g uncut…they have that rake in 1.125 straight, 1.25 tapered, and 1.5 tapered AFAIK.

So I've been looking into the adapter thing

The frame specs have an upper HT ID of 41.8 but the closest size Cane Creek offers is 41.95-42.05. Is this within tolerances? I'm guessing I should just throw them a line. But maybe someone has an answer

the upper is the Italian(IS42) std integrated and the lower is what it is. only one bearing fits it(IS52).

All you need is the CC "110.IS52 conversion bottom", oh and a IS42 top assy assuming you don't already have it.

[nicrump]

you bet. and they make those top cap assy in 2 stacks, 9mm and 16mm. choose wisely.

Thanks Nick!
