Blake Posted January 23, 2014 Report Share Posted January 23, 2014 Yeah, but I've seen plenty of forks snap at the base of the steerer - i did it to a set of Rockman spade forks and it was f**king nasty. Something the increased stiffness and strength of a 1.5" tapered fork could help combat I guess, just looks so bulky :/ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ogre Posted January 23, 2014 Report Share Posted January 23, 2014 Where is your king headset creaking? sounds like the bottom race to me. it doesn't have to look bulky, it depends on how the headtube is designed, i imagine the koxx/hifi style headtubes could probably conceal alot of the bulk by not having to follow the taper on the sides...

stirlingpowers Posted January 24, 2014 Report Share Posted January 24, 2014 29ers with 1200 wheelbase, since many teens are 7 foot giants nowadays. As a result, we will see 75" sidehops some day, and 12 foot gaps. Splined freewheels, cranks and stem-fork connections. Carbon everything. And yes, tubeless. Drum brakes, if some manufacturer finally understands that they can be made light, impact-protected and with instant and high braking power.

stirlingpowers Posted January 24, 2014 Report Share Posted January 24, 2014 Tweels, perhaps. Flexible frames to support jumping. A new riding style using 29ers, like In Akrigg's fixie vids. 650b replacing 26. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
