Eddy Gordo Posted March 8, 2017 Share 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 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yeah, but I have my reservations about these carbon rigid forks. Not sure how it compares to a BMX fork though Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
V12man Posted March 8, 2017 Share 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 Eddy Gordo 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TAAHIRWP Posted March 9, 2017 Share 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 shaper, V12man, Spinmaster and 5 others 8 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TAAHIRWP Posted March 9, 2017 Share 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".)

TAAHIRWP Posted March 9, 2017 Share 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.

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...
