Triple clamp ??

[rippn450]

I have an 01 200 Xc with W/P forks. I also have a set of Ohlins forks from a 200 that I'd like to put on but I noticed that the lower triple clamp is a different size. The Ohlins fork tubes are a larger diameter so my question is where can I find a lower triple clamp or is there one from a different bike that is interchangable?

Why not have the lower ones bored to work with the ohlins? cheap and dirty!

Thanks I have a mill and have done that in the past to fit these forks but I would like to have the option of putting the W/p back on.

If you find a source for a lower triple clamp, let me know.

Hi
I've been a lurking around for a while, but your thread finally prompted me to register...!

I've got an 05 ec200 - and might fit Ohlins forks to it - since I rushed out and bought some...
Both triple clamps are different and genuine clamps are available since Ohlins were an option - at least in 05 - I assume earlier models would be the same.

I haven't sourced some yet, to see if they fit ok, but I believe recent model honda CR / CRF triple clamps are the right size for the Ohlins forks. I've done some quick measurements and they seem the right size for the forks. The stem is a different size, so you would need to try to fit the gasgas stem to the honda triple clamps. I'd be interested to hear from anyone who has done this.

I bought some forks that were intended for a cannondale. My installation efforts stalled as the end caps for mounting brakes and for the axel were also obviously different to the gasser.... Must get back to it though - Can anyone tell me if it worth the effort???

Save your $$ and time and get the Zokes dialed in. They work really well with a minimum of tuning. I had a Cannondale with Ohlins. They have terrible Pro-Action valving that needs to be scrapped. It was way too stiff on the Cannondale and will be unridable on the GG. You need special tools to service the fork properly yourself, where the Zokes are easy. Then there is the foot issue to deal with.
