I installed Fox's Float 40 (27.5") downhill forks as an upgrade to the RST. Combined with the 21" custom wheel I laced it's a whole new bike.

I'm looking into a fox 40 upgrade is there anything extra you needed to mount it up?

[DavidGTiSolar]

did you have to replace the triple tree and headset bearings I would like it what the fox forks on i have the DNM they are terrible

[X-Nitro]

The forks come w/trees, also the Fox 40 come with a lightweight steertube that will need a larger star-nut or expander to tension the headset. Stack height with the upgrade tapered bearing set I'm using is very close to max.

[DavidGTiSolar]

the dnm shock has the new tapered headset so I don't think it will work .I might have to replace the headset can you post a close-up picture of your triple tree and headset set up? Where did you purchase your forks and parts?

[DavidGTiSolar]

did you use a mountain bike rim and front tire for a motorcycle rim and front tire?

[X-Nitro]

Too close? My front wheel is a 21x1.6" Tusk impact 36 spoke m/c rim on a bubba 110mm mtb hub wrapped with a 2.75" shinko 241.
My headset came from Luna, the mtb hub & spokes from the wicked wheel shop. The rim, tire, forks ect from ebay.

Very nice looking setup!

did the stock bearings and races work?Do u have the 2019 or 2020 Version?

[X-Nitro]

My bike is '18, and yes the OE bearings (all, or both type) work if you use a straight 28.6mm steertube + bearing adapter like stock does. I assume the lower bearing w/o adapter also fits tapered steertubes, no guarantee on that.
The reason for the adapter is that the sur ron frame is made to accommodate a tapered steertubes larger lower bearing, but they come w/straight-tube forkset.

were would a good place to go to get the forks And components?

I went with RockShox boxxer World Cup Downhill Fork.

Nice bike!! what rear sprocket is that?

[ArvelE]

Beautiful setup for sure!!!!! Did you disconnect the headlight and tail light from the harness? Looks also like you have a 21' wheel and tire too!!! Very Clean build!!!!

It's a 58 tooth by Sur Ron USA. It's a standard non o-ring chain. 112 links.

Just ordered these for my surron just wondering how hard they are to fit and if they actually will
fit

[X-Nitro]

Should install without trouble, depending on the bearings used you may need to re-use the lower bearing adapter & expect the star-nut to be a larger size. These forks will need a boost size hub or 5mm brake adapter for a 110x20 (stock size) hub.

Yeah I don’t really know much about bikes at all do you think I will need to get someone to professionally fit them or is it pretty simple and obvious what extra bits I will need
