MartMini Posted September 14, 2014 Report Share Posted September 14, 2014 You don't really have a clue do you? snapped at the disk mount area, generally if disk forks snap, thats where they go....

FamilyBiker Posted September 14, 2014 Report Share Posted September 14, 2014 as usual,crack starting at a weld,after being invisible and under the surface hfor ages it became visible just before snapping. its aluminium,its always like that Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Disc.Jokie. Posted September 14, 2014 Author Report Share Posted September 14, 2014 I never saw any cracks on them. I must have done a total of 3 small hooks. I think it was the to front moves that did it. Today I was doing a kicker thing and I was doing them into front. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
niconj Posted September 14, 2014 Report Share Posted September 14, 2014 snapped at the disk mount area, generally if disk forks snap, thats where they go.... ahh, didnt read it fully cheers I didn't have a clue either then. Thanks. Will check mine every once in a while then. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MartMini Posted September 14, 2014 Report Share Posted September 14, 2014 Any move to front are going to stress the f**k out of a set of forks, its not really that impressive? I didn't have a clue either then. Thanks. Will check mine every once in a while then. The disk brace spreads the load, but generally if they snap, its just above the top of the disk mount.

FamilyBiker Posted September 14, 2014 Report Share Posted September 14, 2014 one doesnt check his/her disc mounts every ride.couldve been cracked for a while without you noticing. does the surface inside the crack have shiny areas or different coloured zones?would be evidence for it being cracked for a while Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If the metal is a dull colour, means its been cracked for a while. the shiny parts are fresh cracks. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Disc.Jokie. Posted September 14, 2014 Author Report Share Posted September 14, 2014 The ones I had before snapped at the steered tube. I deem it to be impressive as I've heard nothing of anybody snapping the disc version. Not even tunnicliffe. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MartMini Posted September 14, 2014 Report Share Posted September 14, 2014 just seen your running a front saint. Of course your going to snap the fork Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Disc.Jokie. Posted September 14, 2014 Author Report Share Posted September 14, 2014 (edited) No it's all very shiney. I was surprised how bright it was. And actually I did happen to check there before today's ride. My bike was also stripped down to the frame the rebuilt in between my most recent ride and the one before so would have noticed then as well. Edited September 14, 2014 by Disc.Jokie.

MartMini Posted September 14, 2014 Report Share Posted September 14, 2014 Just because the surface looks okay, doesnt mean the forks arnt cracked/weakened under the surface. All ive seen on TF for the last week is Saint calipers cracked/snapped due to the force they create, it really isnt supprising they've caused the forks to snap.

Disc.Jokie. Posted September 14, 2014 Author Report Share Posted September 14, 2014 I posted this thread to let people know, that they're not as good as people say they are. Does it void warranty? No so who give one that I have a powerfully brake. It must be at least relatively surprising as I was surprised when I did it and there has been not even the slightest hint of any of them snapping. Also it's more surprising that I have snapped them and tunnicliffe hasn't Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MartMini Posted September 14, 2014 Report Share Posted September 14, 2014 you could have a bad batch? like i said, all the pictures ive seen is of saint calipers snapping clean off themselves. Just because one monkey broke a set of good forks running a savigly good front brake wouldnt stop me from buying them Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And tbf he bought them of car they and he had been running them for 6 months. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bing Posted September 14, 2014 Report Share Posted September 14, 2014 If you are wanting strong disk forks, get inspireds. Any fork is gonna get a hard time with saints on. A set of the old cnc crowned gu disk forks are probably the next best thing, if you can find a set 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
