ericbenjaminjr Posted May 14, 2014 Report Share Posted May 14, 2014 I've asked around about this but I need some help making a fork decision. I'm trying to decide between an Echo Urban, Trialtech Sport and Trialtech Sport Lite. I like to ride technical comp-like style but I do more street thats sometimes heavy on the fork. Like speeding bunny hops to front and such. I like the Urban for the weight (750g) but the latest versions got a bit flexy. It helped me out allot when I made some changes to lighten up my front. I love the Trialtech Sport for its strength and stiffness but its kinda heavy (900g). So I thought about the Trialtech Lite (740g) but its pretty expensive. And I've never ridden it so I don't know how it flexes compared to the Urban. If they have similar flex then I'd rather not spend twice the money for a TT Light. And I'm wondering if it can take the abuse of my street riding. The other issue is I never tried hooks before which I'd like to practice this summer. So I'd really appreciate some experienced insight. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

N.Wood Posted May 14, 2014 Report Share Posted May 14, 2014 I've just gone from a Sport to a Sport Lite and yeah I'd say go for the sport lite for sure. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ericbenjaminjr Posted May 14, 2014 Author Report Share Posted May 14, 2014 Thanks! What about the recalls for the rim brake version? Anybody know anything about that? I would be running disc but this issue does kinda concern me.. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
