Can you mount the front fender to a suspension fork?

I installed these fenders on a Trek 7000 with a suspension fork with no problem.

These didn't work for me , I don't recommend them . I got a pair from planet bike and they are awesome.

You could, but the front of your bike may set higher than the rear. The fork is for a taller wheel.

The front mount and the rear mount would be as far apart as your front fork and the rear tire are separated on your bike. The smaller the bike, the smaller the separation. The rear wheel mounts on a separate (fourth) sucker. The image shows a three sucker piece, which as a whole is intended to hold the front fork.

You can add a basket to either front or back. You will have to mount the front light on the fender to use a smaller basket though.

Not on the front you can't. The front frame is curved to contour the bumper. A plate will bend to fit. A straight frame...no way. The rear will take a straight frame.

It is stated that it can be used in the front as well as in the back. The only issue that I would find with a front suspension setup is that the attachments, as you can see, will have to wrap around the front suspension fork strays, meaning, that the entire rack might bob up and down depending in the load and the ride. If there is a way of immobilizing the fork from bobbing up and down, it might be useful BUT the worst thing I can think of is that the continuous up and down motion, along with a load on the rack, will make the linkage questionable and in the long run dangerous. See this video, someone adding the older version of the rack.....But the question goes, has it been proven for long term use? https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Z-Vcbui-cw8

There are two kinds of front fork/handlebar systems. (1) The old style pre-2000 or so, where you loosened up a long bolt on top, and then, could slide the bars up and down about 3 inches. It was an expanding bolt inside the front fork. (2) The newer style where there is a handlebar mount that clamps onto the outside of a fixed length front fork. These do not have that adjustment. The Montague Paratrooper I bought has this newer type, so no adjustment - to my knowledge. The only way to raise the handlebars is to get a different "clamp" that holds the handlebars to the front fork, that has some lift in it. There are even some that are adjustable. This would be a second purchase after the bicycle.

Yes. it may require some modification based on the size of your handle bars and forks

They sell mounting brackets but you have to buy them separate. Make sure you have 2 holes on either side of your fender for mounting. Mine work pretty well.

Are you referring to the forks being 45mm wide at the top? I believe these 60mm fenders will work with almost any fork. It is the tire size you need to worry about. I have a new Specialized Crossroads with 700x45mm tires and it just barely works. The tires are very close to fender but still works great. I installed the same fenders on my wife's Trek 820 after I placed 26x38mm tires (better than the wide MTB tires on it) and it has more room between the tire and fender. The fender attaches to the forks with a metal bracket that connects to the hole in the forks. I found the installation to be very easy. I did have to use the supplied Zip-Ties to connect the back fender to the bottom of the frame by the pedal hub. Good Luck!

no is only for rear spools you need the front one specially design for forks or this one CHN FW-1 Front Wheel Stand CHN FW-1 Front Wheel Stand this is the best one for the front had it for over a year

Yes. Just buy the fork. The base bars did not come with my rack. I had to buy the two separately.

Absolutely. I have a 07 Fatboy and I went ahead and purchased 2 stainless clamps with a rubber interior to make sure it protected the handle bars. I had a bit of a time mounting the amp itself, but I ended up using metal pipe clamps like you find in the plumbing section at home depot. I threaded them in the amp and mounted it between the front forks and it is out of the way and sits nicely. Hope both of these tips help, I know you didn't ask about the mounting the amp, but I was stumped for about a week. All in all the metal (with the screw tightener) cost roughly $5 for all 4 mounts. Good luck! Great unit, it has a pretty good sound and is loud enough to hear at highway speeds. scott

Yes, you can do only the front. I would recommend a quick strut assembly, they are much easier and will not take as long. If you buy just the strut you will need a coil spring compressor to change the coil spring and mounts.

I have an older type men's Novara with the upper bar parallel with the ground. Where the wheel fork leaves the upper weld area, there are a pair of screw studs for mounting the front forks of the seat. It's been more than a year since I mounted it, and working great. I don't remember if there were any other seat mounting options included with the seat.

G'day Dan. I have no idea what type of bike that is, but if I was you I would just go to the SRAM/RockShox website for advice on the bikes and types of riding that this fork would suit. Regards, Paul. PS: I haven't even got the darn forks fitted to my own bike yet, so don't have a clue about performance - apart from what I've read.

This fork is only for disc brakes. I am quite happy with it on my back up mountain bike.
