Mark W Posted September 7, 2005 Report Share Posted September 7, 2005 If they're the carbon fibre ones you're after, they're not in production because they'd retail at approx. £600 per pair, or something around that figure... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
random Posted September 8, 2005 Author Report Share Posted September 8, 2005 Spoke to Rob & Bob. Both said we never made any. These are the two who i been asking about some dropouts being made. I got some very trick and uber stiff carbon tubing, 2mm thick, 32.6mm od, woven and wraped and i've never felt it so tuff. It's used as a rake a boats to pull them to the next boat or jetti. It's very tough and felx free. The cos of making these tubes is £20 per meter, inc labour... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tony Harrison Posted September 8, 2005 Report Share Posted September 8, 2005 The Fournales forks have aluminium tubes hidden inside the carbon. The carbon poles your talking about will not suffice on their own. Also, try working out the cost of machining dropouts and a crown out of solid billets of aluminium...

random Posted September 8, 2005 Author Report Share Posted September 8, 2005 Well beings i have worked a laminator i think i under stand how to make carbon tubing work and be uber storng. heck i make rockets out the stuff that do stupied speeds and height, talking mach 1.5+ to tens of thousends of feet. Yet to have any of my carbon work fail, even my carbon bash thats now 5th owned i belive. My 1st carbon forks had a alu skelition unber the carbon yeah, my new ones just have a little bit in the high stress area which has turned out to e them meetng the crown. it cost me £20 for my block of alloy and for it to be machined up. Simple desgin but i can't get dropouts done at all... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

danny B Posted September 8, 2005 Report Share Posted September 8, 2005 The forks that you are on about are the ones that were made for the coustellier team riders last year and because of the cost they will probably never go into production and i own the design for them also, and as for the fornales they are no longer made for the fact that they do not last for very long hope that helps you lads.

random Posted September 8, 2005 Author Report Share Posted September 8, 2005 They have said they can't make em and so has everyone eles i have spoken to. If someone wants to get in touch and draw me some up to fit my forks and inc a disc mount then im sure we can do a deal, Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tony Harrison Posted September 8, 2005 Report Share Posted September 8, 2005 Just get an old Rockshox Judy lower leg assembly and cut the bottoms of the legs off, about 3in from the bottom. Then slide them over the bottoms of the carbon fork legs and bond them. Then go and ride, snap the brittle carbon and smash your front teeth out.

picki Posted September 8, 2005 Report Share Posted September 8, 2005 some dude made some carbon forks that ali snapped i believe....try asking them. try the drop outs off a set of mazocchi forks, im sure they were pressed into the stanction tubes... other than that there were the melinium forks that manitou made.... that would make a super trials fork. carbon with a 20mm bolt through Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
random Posted September 8, 2005 Author Report Share Posted September 8, 2005 My 1st set of carbon forks use a lower set of Pyslo's and they snapped on the dropouts holding the wheel in doing a stopie. My carbon wont snap it's strong as hell. Flex if i want or no flex. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
