Zoo!Man Posted August 23, 2010 Report Share Posted August 23, 2010 hi there. My monty 221 kamel fork (2010) cracked just above the cable guide. Did any one else tried this??? what would you recommend I should buy instead? cheers:) I'm Spanish, so here there are a lot of Monty bikes. Since the first Kamel, '08 and '09 forks have snapped quite easily, but everybody was saying '10 forks didn't snap, but if you have just cracked them... Monty really sucks. I'd go for the Echo Urban 2010 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Muel Posted August 23, 2010 Report Share Posted August 23, 2010 Do you know how light those forks are? They've only got a short lifespan really... My mate snapped a set after a year or so, and he's not that smooth really. They're not as weak as the Echo SLs or the DOB Magnesiums.

modifiedridah2k9 Posted August 23, 2010 Report Share Posted August 23, 2010 (edited) DOB Magnesiums. I havn't got any cracks/dents/ havnt snapped yet. They are very weak yet i have had them for a year, and before that they were on the Koxx XTP 282 passed around TF. So I think mine are near death lol. But they are stupidly light forks. Might have to buy some Echo SL's after my DOB's die Edited August 23, 2010 by modifiedridah2k9 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Muel Posted August 23, 2010 Report Share Posted August 23, 2010 How heavy are you though? I remember when they were first out people were snapping them after a matter of weeks... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
