I have a 98 Yo Betty. Question about the head tube. I have a Marzocchi z2 Atom Bomb. I took it into my local bike shop and they told me getting a new suspension fork is impossible because the bike has a 1" head tube.
BUT on Fatfans.de I found this--which appears to be from the 1998 catalog: The custom triple butted, 4130 Chrome-moly tubeset they use in their Betty! is designed by Chris Chance and drawn exclusively for Fat City by True Temper Sports. The tube specs and diameters vary depending on the size, but all frames are built for 26" wheels, 1 1/8" headsets, 1 1/4" front derailleurs and 29.4mm seatposts. These frames are engineered for lighter riders and feature the precise performance and durability for which all Fat Chances are known.
Could someone please clarify what I can or cannot use on this bike?
Also, am I better off just sending off the fork to get refurbished?
