liam-pantera Posted February 16, 2008 Report Share Posted February 16, 2008 the blades on most onza forks are too long and ruin the geo , when someone told you they were stock forks with differnt mounts they werent wrong its just the wheel fits closer to the crown on the stock set making the geo correct on a stock .

ogre Posted February 17, 2008 Report Share Posted February 17, 2008 I don't, having a bit of a weird day today so please explain ?the diameter across the wheel is 24 or 26 so from the axle in the middle tp the edge of the wheel it's 12" or 13" giving 1" more rise on a stock Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
stunt man t Posted February 17, 2008 Author Report Share Posted February 17, 2008 they are sweet forks.look at them on my tpro..... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cai Posted February 17, 2008 Report Share Posted February 17, 2008 Cut the steerer!Also why put a spacer under the headset? (between the crown of the forks, and the very bottom of the headtube)It'll just muck up the geo even more! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Duck Posted February 17, 2008 Report Share Posted February 17, 2008 Oh my god.Just burn them or chuck them in a river or something.The are good for nothing. The f**k up the geo on mods, look GAY on stocks.They are the same as the 'standard onza streight blade forks' because guess what - the forks are the same with the mounts welded differently - just like the smart guys.If i see you make another topic thats asking for people to slate your forks I'm going to scream.

Muel Posted February 17, 2008 Report Share Posted February 17, 2008 My brothers T-Lite was transformed by chuckling these forks in favour of some Echo Lites, it was unrideable before, I could hardly do anything where the front wheel was involved, now I take it out every so often if I fancy some short bike action.Bin them an get some lites, it will transform your bike.
