Just in case anyone searches cand comes up with this thread, for reference by KB frame with Trialtech forks comes in at 1083mm wheelbase.
I have not measured BB rise as yet.

Hello,
A couple of us will be riding southsea tomorrow. Probably be at the pyramids about mid day then work along towards spice island.
Regards

as no ones actually stated time or place, I will prob be at Hexagon centre for 11 to 1130.

As always, awesome riding and a well edited video.

I think you guys need to get helmets/wear ones you own.

The Picture that Frank has put up is exactly how the forks looked on my bike.
My original trialtechs has the crown down to the bend in an axact straight line with the steerer and head tube.
Good idea ali, that may be a better way to measure and I can do this with both sets of forks.
Hi All,
Thanks for your responses to this. Frank has kindly said he would give a refund for the forks. And i am very grateful for this.
Regards

I think I will go by craig's method. I can take my current forks off too and do the same as a comparison. I believe if i posted a photo of both forks on the bike you would notice it without measurements.
Due to the time this will take i will have to see if I am able to get this done tonight. It may need tomorrow night also.

Would you recon the best way to measure the rake would be to lay them on the floor and measure from the floor to the dropout?
-
They changed the geo of the forks a little which might account for some of it, but 20mm seems like a lot...
Hi Mark, Do you know what the geo change was? As my original set of trial techs had a cable quide for the front brake yet the ones i purchased of Frank did not.
Thanks

Hi All, I am the buyer in question. I only noticed the deformity when I put the forks on and the leg doesn't follow the line of the steerer.
When i took the forks back off i layed them next to my trial techs and from the crown down was slightly raked backwards.
If i get a chance this evening i shall try and take a photo. I have not noticed any cracks or stress marks on the fork but I will check the top of the crown tonight.
Regards

are these correct directions?
Directions:
From the mini roundabout at West Horsley on the A246 (Bell and Colville) head towards Guildford
After 500 yards turn left into Blakes Lane (signposted Woolgars Farm)
After 200 yards turn left into an unmade road alongside Woolgars House
Continue straight up alongside the field
Then follow the concrete track to the top of the hill
Park in the designated area

me and two others are in for this. will you be letting the owner know? or is it ok just to turn up and he comes and takes money?
Also as i have not been there before do you have co-ordinates for the entrance or a mobile i can call if we get lost?
Cheers

From the movements I would say a 'jib' is a camera crane.

Nice one Jonny, Did you get any footage of us Rookies riding? And will there be a standard video from the evening?
Cheers

bristol was a good laugh. got in at 2am after the drive home.
-
defo up for a worthing ride in a couple of weekends time.
-
Thought I'd read everything clearly... My bad and thanks for pointing it out
Not sure I want to stand around for that long to be honest. I suppose unless other people want to go ride the rest of Bristol in between?
out plan is to just head up there and ride bristol or whatever is fair game really. Not sure we will be there for 5pm though, maybe a tad later.
