gt2-a frames and monarch style forks

2slow · Oct 18, 2012

Newbee here was wondering if anybody has used the Monarch style forks on a GT2-a frame will it bolt up or what do you have to do to make it fit thanks

Howdy 2slow.

I don't remember seeing a build like that but don't see why it wouldn't work well. Dang sure would look awesome.

i hear the GT2 frame has a 1 1/8" head tube so you need the adapter from monarck to make it fit since monarcks are for 1" head tubes

I used a felt fork set up vs monark WAY better in the long run

the felt forks will fit with no mods and are a heavier fork.

You have options. You can use a 1 1/8 to 1" reducer headset , or 1 1/8 to 1" reducer cups with a standard 1 1/8" headset. Do a google search for either, you'll come up with a number of options.

Here's one of each:
