I just bought a set of marzzochi inverted fork tubes from flea bay but was unsure whether my kx65 front brake will fit on them I did also see there is a bracket I could purchase to get them to. Fit if needed but I am not sure what bike these tubes are for, I do have a kx65 front end with wheel will this work.

any information would be a great help I couldn't pass them up it is worth the gamble on them.

Here is the specs from the ad I purchased from

35 mm Shiver Fork

733mm from axle to top of leg (bottom of fork cap)

209mm of travel. Fits clamps with top clamp ID 45mm and bottom clamp ID of 48mm.

Let me know what you think of them as well and what my options are

I included pics with engineering specs

Thanks for the help

Oops didn't read the rest of the responses lol


So I need to get str adapter for the brakes will I need a new axle or any other parts to make these work withe kx65 front wheel

Thanks again for the response
 
Those were on eBay a few weeks ago. And I was going to buy them. I bid on them And I was worried about the front wheel so I emailed the guy and he told me there for a "Cobra Cx 65". So I retraced my bid Cus I couldn't find a wheel.

So will the str adapter fit these and can I make the kx65 caliper and wheel work

Cause in theory the triple clampe will give the width with the spacers for the axle it is more about whether the str bracket will work

Does any one know

well i got my forks today they look awesome i ended up buying a wheel and brake set up that will fit, he sent me an axel too which is awesome but again i need to wait and see if it will work with the triple clamps.

Now i need a triple clamp set up does anyone know the stem length and diameter so i don't mess up and order something that isnt the right size? and any suggestions on good but affordable clamps would be appreciated. Fastace, piranha, or any others that will work i do know that the upper is 45mm and lower is 48mm

can i buy clamps with no stem then buy a separate stem? i did see some clamps with no stem when i was looking

thanks again

well just another update on who things have been with this build

after searching high and low for fork clamps or triple clamp i received a set from tbolt Pirahna they are 45/48mm clamps(just an fyi this is the measurements on upper tubes) i received a few emails saying i was not using right measurement and was told they were 38mm that is the bottom tube.

anyways i digress

so i ended up purchasing a new wheel and brake set up which i believe is from a cobra 65 that bolted right up
the axel and spacer also worked that axel is a little long but i am sure i can take it to a machine shop and get that sorted out
but this set up is now on the bike and looks sweet
it sits a little raked out guess i will have to do the rear end now muhahaha

i will post some pics in the near future
