Bashan Forks/Parts Vendors?
I am interested in purchasing a pair of the new USD forks employed by the Bashan Brozz, Bashan Storm, et cetera. Does anyone know a domestic vendor who sells these Bashan forks? The Bashan USD forks are very similar to the ones shown in the photograph below.
![]() Here are the dimensions of these 37mm, USD Chinese forks. Diameter of inner fork tube: 37mm Diameter of fork at upper triple clamp: 48mm Diameter of fork at lower triple clamp: 51mm Overall length from tops of fork caps to bottom of fork tube: 33.5 inches Axle diameter: 12mm I can purchase a pair of these forks from Taobao for $50/pair, but the shipping cost would probably be over $100. Therefore, I would like to know if anyone sells these forks domestically. ![]()

Call Kandi USA since they used to distribute the Brozz and Shark (no USD forks for the Shark). Usually distributors are allotted spare parts, but not sure if that would include forks. Maybe they have a parts bike they tore/tear into? I do know that Excalibur has a complete new in box TMEC 200 bike minus the wheels, but not sure if that will fit and not sure if Alan or Wade will part that bike out any more than the wheels.

![]() Do your TMEC 200 forks match the description I posted earlier in this thread?

![]() I contacted them by telephone. They have the forks I need at a very reasonable price, and their ups shipping cost is also very reasonable. ![]() I might buy someone's used forks. However, if I decide to purchase new forks, I'm always looking for the best deal. ![]()

![]() ![]() The new forks are a different design from my original ZS200GY-2 forks. The new forks will accomodate the newer, better, front brake caliper which comes with the newer Chinese, dual sport bikes. ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]()

Spud, will the existing disk work with the dual piston caliper? I had the hockey puck on my X-Moto and it had a much wider (deeper?) wear band than my dual piston calipers. The disk was larger diameter, as well.

![]() ![]() My ZS200GY-2 front wheel appears to be identical to the CSC TT250 front wheel. Also, the speedometer sending unit appears to be identical. My front brake rotor is 265 mm in diameter. I read the TT250 brake rotor is the same diameter. Perhaps you can verify this measurement for me. Both brake rotors employ 6 bolts. The forks of the CSC TT250 appear to be identical to the standard, Chinese USD forks. Here are some photographs and measurements of the Chinese forks. Perhaps you can verify for me the forks are the same. ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() If the forks, wheel, speedometer sending unit, and brake rotor are the same, then I should be able to purchase a front brake caliper from CSC which will give perfect fitment.

![]() If the Bashan Storm/Brozz has a 265 mm, front brake rotor, a front brake caliper from the Bashan Storm/Brozz should also be a perfect fit, since these Bashan bikes also employ the Zong's front hub. ![]() Can you verify the front brake caliper on the TT250 is the same as the photographs shown below? Thanks for all your help. ![]() ![]() ![]()
