I have an 80s Trek early hybrid type only made one year it's got oddball sizes like 130 mm dropout yet it came with 26-in rims I can't even fit a 1.95 tire but I'm going to go through with and fix it.
You need a steer tube die but I'm thinking that might be hard to find if its not standard 1". I know a lot of these old English bikes had English standard threading. Good luck!
I think I'll just chalk it up to a lesson learned. I should have checked the old replacement fork thread length. I assumed wrongly that since it was from the same manufacturer, it would fit. As they say, the devils in the details. Thanks! You always give me helpful tips. I appreciate it.
Tough break. Working on things like bikes takes patience and a good attitude; seems like you've got both in abundance.
Thanks. It's always a learning experience.
