Crust Clydesdale Fork

A fork. A truck. A seat for your butt. The Clydesdale fork does it all! Turn whatever frame you want into an ultra-utility cargo bike. The Clydesdale fork utilizes a 20" front wheel allowing the cargo platform to sit low to the ground. This lowers the center of gravity making large or heavy loads much easier to manage while riding. Great for courier work, carrying your pets around, or touring with the kitchen sink.

Each fork has a set of canti brake mounts and a disc tab. Get wild, run a duplex lever hooked up to a disc brake and a v-brake.

The platform features 6 bolt holes on the top of it so you can bolt your preferred containment method to it. It could be a basket, a big plastic tub, a milk crate, a post office bin, a sheet of plywood, or whatever. It also has two braze-on's on the front of it to hang a dynamo light. The fork offers all of the necessary braze-ons and bolt holes for a fender as well.

The Clydesdale fork is designed to replace a fork with an axle to crown of ~400mm with about a 72° HT angle and have a level platform. That means any old mountain bike with a non suspension corrected fork, your Surly Straggler or Preamble, even an Evasion would make for a good match. If you're unsure if your bike is a good match with this fork, give us a call or an email.

The 1" threadless version comes with a 1" threadless headset and a 1" to 1 ⅛" shim. That should make it a little easier for you to swap it into your 1" head tube bike that likely has a 1" threaded headset and use a 1 ⅛" stem since a 1" threadless stem can be hard to come by. The shim DOES NOT shim a 1 ⅛" head tube to 1". If you've got a frame with a 1 ⅛" head tube a 1" steerer fork WILL NOT WORK, you have to get the 1 ⅛" version.

If you're in the market for a 20" wheel to go with the fork, we have one for you right here.
