Snapped the forks on the old blue hex today... Bummer the flow forks don't come with the threaded steer tube, but I was wondering what kind of blasphemy it would be to put an arcade fork on an old hex? Would you guys ever forgive me?

Hi Coy!
Sorry to hear about your forks breaking. If you wanted to use the Flow forks, you could do some in conjunction with the Inspired Headlock V2. They fit the Flow forks fine, and would allow you to run your brake hose through the fork easily too.
Alternatively, the Arcade forks would work fine with your Hex! The geometry is a little different, primarily with the axle offset being about 10mm shorter (depending on your exact model/age of Hex), but aside from that they should work fine! They also give you the option of going for a 15mm through axle if you'd like to, so open up other options for you with setup.
The only other thing to note is that they are heavier than the standard Hex forks, but the flip side is they are nice and tough so it just comes down to whether you'd like to go for the slightly simpler, but heavier option of the Arcades forks, or go for the slightly more complicated but a little lighter option of the Flow forks with a Headlock.
Can I use this fork with Czar ion bike? And will the geometry change a lot?

Hi Dima!
This fork should work fine with your Czar Ion, although there are a few things to note regarding compatibility.
The Czar Street Forks use an integrated crown race, so you would need to get a crown race for the Inspired Arcade forks. These are available in our Echo Headset Spares section: Product code: 11536
You would also need to use the Inspired Arcade Axle Adaptors to suit your existing front hub. These are supplied with the forks, which makes things a little easier!
The geometry would change a little, but both forks have a similar leg length and fork offset so it would not be a major change.
Hi, can i know what is the axle size? 20mm thru axle or 15mm thru axle?

Hi Jeremy - The Arcade forks require a 15mm through axle. Thanks, Mark
Would I be able to run a suspension fork instead of this fork on my 2014 inspired arcade?

Hi Parker - As long as you use a regular 1 1/8" steerer tube set of forks you can run any type you'd like on your Arcade. The only thing to note is that as suspension forks are typically significantly longer than street trials forks, it would mean your head tube angle would become quite slack and your BB height would be raised quite a lot. This would compromise the feel of the bike, but if you wanted to experiment there's no reason why it wouldn't work. Thanks, Mark
Does the arcade forks come with the axle adapters or do I have to buy them separate

Hi David - These forks are supplied with the hub axle adaptors, but not the 15mm through axle. Thanks, Mark
I am buying the arcade forks for my inspired flow so would I need to buy anything else like a headset cap or something?

Hi Davi - These forks should go straight onto the Flow. You would need to use your headset crown race that's currently fitted to the Flow forks, but you can simply knock that off the Flow forks and fit it to the Arcade forks. Everything else should be fine. Thanks, Mark
Will this forks fit on a inspired flow

Hi David - These forks would work with the Flow fine. You'd simply need to use the adaptors supplied with the fork for your front axle bolts. Thanks, Mark
Hi, So I'm riding the fourplay 2015 with the old element forks on and was looking to buy the new black fourplay forks but i can't seem to find them. would the arcade forks work if i couldn't fine them. When will they be back in stock. Thanks for any help, Morgan.

Hi Morgan - The Fourplay/Team forks have been discontinued as the new Fourplay uses a taper headtube and through axle. They have been replaced by the Flow Alloy fork. The Arcade forks should work fine with your Fourplay - the geometry is very similar. Thanks, Mark
Can i usw this bold on the Console ? The fork Look like the Same

Hello - Using this fork on the Console would be no problem. If you are already using the Console fork then you can simply re-use your existing axle adaptors on the Arcade fork. Thanks, Mark
is this frame a pure 1.1/8

Hi Hugo - These forks use a 1 1/8" steerer tube. Thanks, Mark
If I put this on my fourplay, it wouldn't change the geometry, would it? Thanks :)

Hi Max - The way it would change the feel of your bike would depend on the forks you're running on there at the moment. The Arcade forks have a little less offset than most other forks so will most likely take a little length off your wheelbase which will make the bike a little more responsive feeling when you're carving into spins or trying to go onto the front wheel. Thanks, Mark
