dirtrider Posted October 14, 2008 Posted October 14, 2008 After a lot of pressure from Daemon and Thug I got myself a bigger fork (more travel) . Well I actaully went from 100 to a 160mm shock ! After ready in the Ride magazine about dodgy handling with big travel forks I was keen to test this beast out . The trial at Rietvlei was perfect as it had lots of tight fast turn . Handling felt a bit dodgy at the start put got better . But that is something that will sort itself out . But man going over anything higher than a pavemunt and you get airborn ! Awesome why did I wait so long to do this . Anyway this weekend it is onion hill to test the climbing capabilities .

AndreZA Posted October 15, 2008 Posted October 15, 2008 What make fork did you get????? EETRITE Okay, I see the door.
Thug Posted October 15, 2008 Posted October 15, 2008 Pressure from Moi ? All I said was that a Morewood Dirt Rider needs a bigger fork than 100mm to utilise the full potential of the bike. Maybe you now will !!
dirtrider Posted October 15, 2008 Author Posted October 15, 2008 Ok I am sure there is something else you would rather say ! Or are you gonna play a Puke WAtson on us and just spit ?
Overlord Posted October 15, 2008 Posted October 15, 2008 Only 160? WHAT you get bigger !!!! What about 220? Problem is you'll keep on falling onto your back wheel when climbing.
