Nc29 forks on nc23?

Post by petrolhead19 »

Is it possible? And would I have to put 29 wheel on or could I keep the 23 one on?

They will physically fit as there the same diameter (41mm) but the NC29 forks are 50mm shorter than the NC23's so you will have no end of wheel/rad/header/frame/face/tarmac interface problems, if your seals keep blowing you have a few possible causes, slightly bent fork tube, damage/pitting in the travel area or you are damaging the seal when installing it, what are you using to fit the new seals? also how much oil are you putting in? as over filling the oil can also blow your seals.

Using genuine honda ones. They went the first time so I replaced them, then they went again, so I had some spare forks in good condition so put them on and now 2 months down the line the right one has gone but both sets of forks its only the right one that keeps going. They got the same pressure in for my pre load and are both the same level in the yokes. So im a bit lost
