Triple Trees

[Georgeediii]

I'm looking to put a triple tree front end on an upcoming project and I am looking for a little insight. I am not much for buying new parts when I can buy an entire bike of Craigslist for a fraction of the price. Lots of them out there .... Stingrays, West Coast Choppers, Pork Chop, Diamondback Drifter etc. I am not really a fan of the Stingray forks as the bottom plate is raked out but I know that the 16 inch version and the one on the ridiculously huge scooters are not. Which brands can have the length adjusted? Are the ones off the 16 or the scooter wide and tall enough to fit a standard wheel in there?

I used a set off a 16" had plenty of room
For a 26 " fat tire ...

Were you able to adjust the length?

The Jesse James chopper has a reasonably adjustable fork, meaning the top tree is open to slide the fork tubes through.
Whereas the occ stingray is a plate with a small hole for an Allen bolt.

The JJ forks have a mounting plate inside the fork tubes for the Allen bolt. The bolt goes through a disk thing then threads into the fork tube. Same basic set up as a threadless headset on a BMX bike.

No no much adjustment at all..

If you can find the fork off one of these goofy WCC bikes

you can cut the tubes to any length, just slide the tubes up in the clamps

I cut these with a band saw

I didn't even think about the trees clamping on the tubes, that should hold them. I looked at mine and realized what I said was wrong. There's no threading in the top of the fork tubes, just the part that goes through the head tube.
