V12man Posted March 8, 2017 Posted March 8, 2017 That would be mine. :wacko: IMG_1622.jpgWhere is the video.....
Eddy Gordo Posted March 8, 2017 Posted March 8, 2017 That would be mine. :wacko: you will note it was the same fork I was jumping in my avatar.over cooked the big jump at virgin active on the Spruit and that's what cracked it, unknown to me.I then proceeded to ride it hard for 4 month and broke it jumping a ditch the day before 94.7.Not the forks faults, purely my fat ass using it in a method it was not intended for. IMG_1622.jpgOuch. Thanks for that. I will continue to look for a rock shox
V12man Posted March 8, 2017 Posted March 8, 2017 Ouch. Thanks for that. I will continue to look for a rock shoxWhen you see the video you might change your mind.... that was one awesome knock it took and survived...
jcmeyerSS Posted March 8, 2017 Posted March 8, 2017 did the tyre hit the frame? ouch!Almost wheel was trashed thats why you hear me same "damm1t" at the end
Meezo Posted March 8, 2017 Posted March 8, 2017 Almost wheel was trashed thats why you hear me same "damm1t" at the endat least you know you can clear much bigger gaps
Eddy Gordo Posted March 8, 2017 Posted March 8, 2017 When you see the video you might change your mind.... that was one awesome knock it took and survived... Yeah, but I have my reservations about these carbon rigid forks. Not sure how it compares to a BMX fork though
V12man Posted March 8, 2017 Posted March 8, 2017 Yeah, but I have my reservations about these carbon rigid forks. Not sure how it compares to a BMX fork thoughI have no reservations about mine after about 20k km of beating on it, it still good... and light too... for a commuter bike they will be perfect
TAAHIRWP Posted March 9, 2017 Posted March 9, 2017 Not 100% but it is rolling. Pic taken after my morning commute yesterday. Previous fork was too short (axle to crown) this one feels much better

It was a sixer fork, wasn't it?
TAAHIRWP Posted March 9, 2017 Posted March 9, 2017 Told you so... It was a sixer fork, wasn't it? Nope.. It was a 29er fork with an A-C of 470mm mos. Frame was designed around 498mm A-C. I'm not sure what the A-C of the new fork is (estimated it to be between 495mm to 505mm, by means of "visual" measurement. Also known as a "skat".) Sent from my GT-I9190 using Tapatalk

TAAHIRWP Posted March 9, 2017 Posted March 9, 2017 I know, and you know of someone who would be interested in your old 26'er rigid fork I do? I think I don't..... lol I would actually be very keen on swapping it for a similar valued 26inch air fork with straight steerer. My dad wants a bike, so building something for him. Was gonna use the on One.. but he is probably only going to use it to go around the block very now and then. Sent from my GT-I9190 using Tapatalk

Sent from my GT-I9190 using Tapatalkwere you not selling wheels off a old red goose frame and on that frame was a rigid fork ... sent someone your way to see if he could wangle it out from you as he is looking for a rigid fork for his commuter

Yes I was, then my dad said "just build me that frame up for me my boy!" And I was like... "dad I'm selling everything". So then said "don't sell anything anymore". Your buddy did approach me I think. But he backed down during he negotiation phase.. soo... [emoji4] [emoji12] Sent from my GT-I9190 using Tapatalk
