I want to build a linkage fork. I will use steel tubing for the legs to see if my idea works, and because I cant weld aluminum. I realize I will have a HEAVY fork.
I was thinking of using either 1 1/8 or 1 1/4 round tubing with either a .90 or .125 wall thickness.
Will these sizes work, or is there something better/lighter I can use? Maybe a thinner wall thickness? I weigh 225lbs and the fork will have 3-4" travel, and will be setup with a 203mm disc brake.
