BenLeacock™ Posted February 17, 2008 Report Share Posted February 17, 2008 They look nice, but look like a road fork? Would they be able to cope with the stress of trials riding ? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Daffy04 Posted February 17, 2008 Report Share Posted February 17, 2008 There exactly the same style as the ones a friend of mine uses for bmx racing (his are 20 inch though) they look mint but how would they be under the punishment of a trials rider Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mark W Posted February 17, 2008 Report Share Posted February 17, 2008 They look like they're made for cyclocross, which isn't quite the same as XC. Cyclocross is on and off-road, done on bikes that kinda look like roadbikes with manly tyres. So yeah, I really, really wouldn't trust those forks. I can't really think of any top racers who use rigids for XC anyway...Even if the legs didn't snap straight away from hard disc use, I can't imagine the steerer would take much. Well not worth it.

JoNnY__Mc Posted February 17, 2008 Report Share Posted February 17, 2008 They look quite beefy, would be a mint set up if you used them with a front vee.I would think they are only suitable for comp use though. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Skoze Posted February 17, 2008 Report Share Posted February 17, 2008 I'd burn my money, much more fun and hurts less. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Shaun H Posted February 17, 2008 Report Share Posted February 17, 2008 It's not a cyclocross fork, way too beefy for that, and they usually run roadie calipers which don't use those mounts. I'd say it's definitely a no go for any form of trials. Carbon dropouts and even carbon disc mounts! Really can't see those lasting long when they haven't been engineered with trials forces in mind. They're very pretty though Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
_Owen. Posted February 17, 2008 Report Share Posted February 17, 2008 They look to me like forks off a hybrid bike! I would be tempted to try them, but maybe for more comp usage, not any hard street or anything big! Owen Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gandalf the Yellow Posted February 18, 2008 Report Share Posted February 18, 2008 these are not cyclocross forks cos they come with v mounts...and errrr disc mounts which i don't think any cyclocross bikes will use.proper full on ultra light rigids...i can see people using these for xc comps and stuff, i mean they're pretty much 1/3 weight of like reba world cups/fox's...i'd imagine they're shatter happy too if you use it for trials...comp is a maybe but is it worth spending that much on a pair of forks you use only for comps??steve Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
