Andrex Posted October 31, 2006 Report Share Posted October 31, 2006 I have just recovered from having three broken fingers so the first thing i do is go out on my once trust bike. Coming up late in the day i try a hook on some wierd polestyrene reel. First time i try and get up the steering becomes really stiff so i fiddle a bit to loosen it up, second time I go up it gets even more stiffer so I loosen it up again, but the third time i went up my forks snapped at the steerer tube and I nearly got a face full of poplystyrene. A bit of advice from me don't buy echo hi-fi/team forks and if your steering all of a sudden becomes stiff take your forks out and check the steerer tube. On top of all this I now don't know what forks to buy, anyone got any tops tips? cheers Andy Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RobinJI Posted October 31, 2006 Report Share Posted October 31, 2006 Unlucky, how old were your forks? at least you didn't get hurt.Echo Urbans seem to be a really good choice, No way you're gunna kill the steerer on the new ones either!

Trials Maniac Posted October 31, 2006 Report Share Posted October 31, 2006 I'd say echo lite or zoo forks, both seem to be good forks Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Deonn h Posted October 31, 2006 Report Share Posted October 31, 2006 Those forks are good id happily get them.All forks snap at the end of the day.The new echo gu zoo forks have a 8mm steerer at the bottem this year so they will be better.
