Im not making it complicated, im helping him do it RIGHT.

A bike fork tube is THE SAME EXACT FUCKING THING as a 1 1/8" chromoly tube.
You ARE making it complicated.

He said he had an old Fit Blade fork he was gonna use. You might not know anything about bikes, but I know that those forks are strong, and that the fork tube is 100%, positively, without a doubt, a chromoly tube with 1 1/8" OD.
Have a nice god damn evening.

I never said the forks werent good. Stop being a dick. Stop acting like you know everything also.

The original poster of the thread said lock it. So he can repeat saying lock this thread all he wants. And AJ wasnt being a dick, he was trying to help because it looked like everyone else was trying to make this a much more complicated thing then it really was.

ok well first of all im the one who wanted to know and i cant get a bike fork tube so i was wondering if i could weld a pro fork tube on and rienforce it bcuz i dont want to have to get a compression system

can anybody give me any tips or tutorials or what they did to weld on a bike tube, to make it threadless, or just weld a threaded tube on, because i will be recieving broken sr forks and i will weld a new tube on. i searched and couldnt find anything on this.

The material is the most important.

make sure you know what it is before you weld it to something else.

If you dont know how to tig weld, take it to someone who can.. or you will destroy it haha.


If you are welding something heat treated, you need to preheat it.. and post heat it.. use a chrome-moly filler rod or the weld will shatter like glass.
(not sure on the temperature because im not sure how that company treats its forks)

i'll tell you this though, its going to be alot of work to do it right, more work than i think its worth.
