Cannondale Synapse fork recommendation
Hi guys,
recently i brought used 2009 alu Cannondale Synapse flat bar with carbon fork..
I am really impressed how the bike rides!!!
I am retro fun, recreational cyclist with randonneur/sport touring mindset...
So far i was riding my beloved 89 Cannondale st400....I also own 1982 Bridgestone Diamond Road...
I am really happy with my st400 It's my almost do it all bike ....It would be my perfect bike just if i could have wider tires...
Since Synapse is really great i am thinking to make it all road by changing original fork...
On the back it can take 35mm slick but on the front only 32.
I would be happy with 38 front, 35 back.
Does someone knows which fork would be good for my conversion?
This fork is carbon all condition alu steerer, 30 race... Headset is FSA orbit CE 45X45 campy compatible...Head tube has integrated style headset...44mm outside diameter.
I am bit of confused with all this ahead stuff & cannondale standards..
What do You think it will be good replacement fork for my goal?
Can i use any 1,1/8 fork ...Can i use tapered or not...
Thanks in advance..
Here are the pics after my customization/restauration...I repainted it....
