    Changing forks - out of my depth?

    They look perfect. Thank you. I like "generic common". I did look on Ebay, must have missed them!

    Changing forks - out of my depth?

    Thanks Nealh. It is a Subway model, cheap and chearful spec, much lighter than my old Raleigh. The crown race is pressed onto the forks as you describe. So, does this make it a standard 1 1/8 set of forks that I could easily replace and use a standard new integrated cassette if I manage to...

    Where do I start?
