I have a 2000 Diamondback Outlook (http://www.bikepedia.com/quickbike/BikeSpecs.aspx?Year=2000&Brand=Diamondback&Model=Outlook&Type=bike) and my friend recently gave me a free RST fork so I can have front suspensions on my bike. We ride weekly now and riding hardtail was okay, but now its doing my body damage.
I was wondering if anyone knew how to install a front suspension fork on my bike. I've tried googling and no one is answering my question exactly. I got the RST for free so I'd like to do the labor on it just cuz its fun for me. HELP!! -

1: remove the stem
2: pull the old fork from your frame (remember where all of the little rings and bearings and stuff in the headset goes or else you'll be screwed)
3: have a bike shop remove the crown race from the old fork
4: have the bike shop put the crown race on the new fork
5: slide new fork through headset, into frame
6: position headset/spacers/stem and tighten -

depending on the travel of the fork it will change the geometry of the bike and most likley make it ride poorly -

diamondbacks ride poorly as it is, it's nothing to worry about. -

Not all Diamondbacks are crap, just the newer post-2002-ish -
