View Full Version : Monster 696 fork... convert your DD bike to radial?!

I converted my DD bike after Brands to a radial caliper setup. I did this by using the fork from the monster 696 as these have the same fork tube diameter so they fit inside the original 600ss yokes (and so also fit inside the rules!)

I sent the fork to Maxton to tune and also black anodize the tubes. Here was the finished result.

Sadly the bike got stolen last year. Anyway I bought these forks as a job lot of 2 sets so I have another set for sale if anyone is interested in doing the conversion to radial calipers on your bike. £200 ono for the set

Yes they would be.
You can pick up the silver calipers from 848 and Monster range quite cheap now!

I just happen to have a Brand NEW pair of gold 100mm radials kicking about :D
But think I'll wait for some fully adjustable stuff to come along...
