NVWOCI WVS Posted February 24, 2009 Report Share Posted February 24, 2009 That paintjob wins. Geo is designed for relatively short rigid forks, but apparently they feel pretty nice as a streety bike with a really short travel suspension fork.

chrisbikefix Posted February 24, 2009 Report Share Posted February 24, 2009 I used to have the 14" zero and the size you have, i used some converted bomber forks and ended up snapping the head tube. i would use either cannondale fatty r's on there or echo urban forks! the frame feels alot nicer with them trust me!

1337 Trials Posted February 24, 2009 Report Share Posted February 24, 2009 Love the frame colour. Will it be used for trials? If so then rigid/single speed Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ross McArthur Posted February 24, 2009 Report Share Posted February 24, 2009 Love the frame son.I'd say, sus forks with a single speed set up.Will be super streety. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
londonliam Posted February 24, 2009 Author Report Share Posted February 24, 2009 on the feed back i have recievd i im feeling the suspension forks just becuase i have them and im used to DJ so will kinda similar.next question whats sort stem length should i be looking at as its a trade of between like a really short one easyer for x up and techy stuff or a longer more trials based stem?cheersI used to have the 14" zero and the size you have, i used some converted bomber forks and ended up snapping the head tube. i would use either cannondale fatty r's on there or echo urban forks! the frame feels alot nicer with them trust me!do these forks come up on this forum regulally 2nd hand?

Revolver Posted February 24, 2009 Report Share Posted February 24, 2009 Urbans do, fatty forks don't.I'd go for rigids, or really short suspension. You also want really light forks. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
t-bird tom Posted February 24, 2009 Report Share Posted February 24, 2009 I reckon that you should go single speed and rigid forks.If you want my opinion, it looks like it would make a good street bike. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
steve@banbury-trials Posted February 24, 2009 Report Share Posted February 24, 2009 maybe use some street forks that are designed give the bike the same geomentry as if it was using a short travel suspension fork? and single speed all the way Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
shamus Posted February 25, 2009 Report Share Posted February 25, 2009 the annoying thing with suspenders is the rebounding and loss of feel when trying to maintain balance/precision.fair enough if you can ride like that, but i'd personally go for some really tough rigids if its going to be a street bikeand really light forks if its mainly trials, or a happy medium, who knows, you decide (said in Big Bro voice).i've always run rigid (only really had trials/bmx/rigid street slag) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
