I might have gotten a good deal on an Easton EC90 SL fork, but I have to act quick... will this fork fit my '05 Trek 1500 frame?
Thanks!

do the following research:
1. steerer tube diameter (probably 1 1/8"😉 of your current fork vs diameter of new fork. they must match.
2. trail of current fork vs trail of new fork (this is how far offset the axle sits relative to the centerline of the head tube). if they don't match, you will have different handling.
3. steerer tube length of your fork vs the new fork. You can cut down forks but you won't be able to grow them.
4. deluxe is height of fork from bottom headset race to dropout. some forks are taller than others. a different height fork can make your bike feel more/less stable and more/less responsive to directional inputs.
good luck

Thanks! Looks like it will work.
