Big_J Posted January 9, 2006 Report Share Posted January 9, 2006 hey all, i am currently running echo pure forks on a magura louise.since i have been running this set-up, i have been having problems with my cones and axel in my front hub, no matter how tight i put my cones, they still felt loose. so i changed the fornt wheel, and even with this new front wheel, it still feels the same, and i am wondering wheather its to do with the brake and fork set-up i have. (currently running an 03 caliper louise dual-pot)does anybody else have this problem?!any tips on how to stop this?!thaks all, jak Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

zoo p Posted January 9, 2006 Report Share Posted January 9, 2006 i have some pure forks on my pitbull and an avid disk, and i used to think my front wheel was loose when i was on the back wheel, but if you look at someone when they are hopping on the back wheel with echo forks, they flex a bit to stop them from snapping when you do big moves, so it gives the feeling that something is loose, strange i know but once i seemed to get this fact into my head i stopped feeling it.

Bigman Posted January 9, 2006 Report Share Posted January 9, 2006 I recon it is your forks Jack, In my oppinion i recon u should get some new forks, Controls would suit your bike very nicely.........AdamPS: i have a set of control forks for sale, in very good condition Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ScotchDave Posted January 9, 2006 Report Share Posted January 9, 2006 Things to check: the pads aren't moving in the calliper, making it feel like the front wheel is loose, the fork flex isn't giving the impression if loose cones and that the headset isn't loose.If it isn't that, I'm stumped.

Big_J Posted January 9, 2006 Author Report Share Posted January 9, 2006 everything is all tight and straight on it, and the wheel fits in the forks fine, but its just that when i put the wheel in, its all staright and is inline with the centre of the forks, but when i pull my brake its "lop-sides" to the left, and then when i feel my wheel in the forks it feels as if my cones are loose in my hub, when they arent?!and ideas?! jak Ps. is that a mayor hint to buy your forks biguss?!

Bigman Posted January 10, 2006 Report Share Posted January 10, 2006 No............. but, what it could be is that the skewer is not holding the wheel in the forks tight enough, i had this problem with my avid and Urban forks i had a while back, when i applied the front brake it would move the whole wheel in the dropouts, what i ended up doing was tapping the axle and bolting the wheel into the dropouts, i have had no trouble with this since then AdamPS: buy my forks, much nicer than pures Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
