chrisatactiv05 Posted January 31, 2005 Report Share Posted January 31, 2005 Just wondered if anyone has rode with leeson forks, and what they think of them, cheers chris Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fairy elephants Posted February 1, 2005 Report Share Posted February 1, 2005 I have got them on my new Leeson. I like the 360 drop out, and so far they seem pretty good on the stiffness side of things. I have had just a week though, so i cant realy write a review as such. I think you will find they are heavier than alot of forks around at the moment, due to them being made of steel, although they are lighter than pashleys (or so i'm told). When i ordered mine, it seemed asthough clive didnt want to sell them to me (Y) He told me that they are exactly the same geometry as pashley forks, although because they are lighter, he says they are probably slightly weaker, Which is made up for in looks (Y)" :o So far, i would recomend them, but like i said, i have only had them a week, so i cant comment on strength atall :) Hope i have helped.

chrisatactiv05 Posted February 1, 2005 Author Report Share Posted February 1, 2005 cheers alex for that, just wondered if you know if clive can fit disc mounts to them, because i really like my mono trials disc i brought and dont want to sell it, cheers, chris Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
quick_spider Posted February 1, 2005 Report Share Posted February 1, 2005 He can do a disc mount on them - you'll probably need to provide the wheel/hub and the caliper you're going to use. Like Alex said, Clive is reluctant to sell them - I don't think he'll sell them unless you're getting a frame as well. Jon Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fairy elephants Posted February 1, 2005 Report Share Posted February 1, 2005 He can fit a disk mount, but when i asked about it for mine, he said he would rather not. This is because a disk puts alot of extra force onto the fork legs under braking. With mine, he told me that if i decide that i am going to run a disk, then he will weld a mount on for me at a later date. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
chrisatactiv05 Posted February 2, 2005 Author Report Share Posted February 2, 2005 yeh phoned him and he said it puts alot of pressure on the disc mount so im not bothering atm. So disc is for sale to anyone who wants it!!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Punkrider Posted February 2, 2005 Report Share Posted February 2, 2005 Hi Chris, how much for the disc? Would you swap it for the M4? (Y) Adam Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fairy elephants Posted February 2, 2005 Report Share Posted February 2, 2005 Hi Chris, how much for the disc? Would you swap it for the M4? :sick: Adam ← Yea, he's selling the disk because the forks he wants dont have a disk mount.... swapping would be an ingenious idea!
