CurtisRider Posted July 9, 2005 Report Share Posted July 9, 2005 eeeek fattys on a leeson, look mingin :) whatya want is some pashleys(or identity tuning forks if you need disk mounts!) they will compliment your frame well!as well as being very good (Y) as for cranks, burns and tensiles are very good, but im not a fan of their looks, unfortunately you are a bit restricted when it comes to bbs, cos you have to get clive to fit a new'un if you dont have the correct interface fitted(square or splined)-which is alot of time and hassle personally i think the raceface lp cranks look pretty cool, and are good too, but i guess you cant beat middleburns over all quality and service+backup when things go pearshaped, if its possible go for 3 piece-i cant belive how much better mine feel over alloy cranks (Y) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ben Geary Posted July 10, 2005 Report Share Posted July 10, 2005 cranks = burns, tensiles forks = pashleys ben :) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ScotchDave Posted July 10, 2005 Report Share Posted July 10, 2005 Dont they have a incentric bb like u can only use shiamno lx cranks. ← Excentric bb and no they don't need lx cranks. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Al_Fel Posted July 10, 2005 Report Share Posted July 10, 2005 Middleburn cranks and these forks Much better than fattys and easier to find. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SQuiT-man Posted July 10, 2005 Report Share Posted July 10, 2005 Ive never heard anything about the forks anal teflon posted, but they do look very nice...! Otherwise I would say echo urbans are lush, lighter than fattys, and still strong. I think its nice to have a really light fork like that, and as for middleburns cranks+bash, you cant go wrong with them (p.s. get some black cranks-less people have them and they look soo much nicer) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Al_Fel Posted July 10, 2005 Report Share Posted July 10, 2005 I'm 99% sure those Zoo forks are the same legs as urbans but just with the CNC bit in the middle instread of a tube. They also have the beefed up disc mount. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
