Tommy d Posted August 14, 2007 Report Share Posted August 14, 2007 (edited) What do you mean by high rise/low rise?I didn't think there was a lot of variation in the heights of trials forks. You're not using suspension are you? Edited August 14, 2007 by Tommy d Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Grant Hundley Posted August 15, 2007 Report Share Posted August 15, 2007 (edited) Are you riding a saracen mod bike? If so i think you find its not the gap between the stearer tube and the tyre its the weight of the forks.They weigh a lot!I would get a pair of echo lites.Tom Edited August 15, 2007 by thomasjefferies Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Echo urbans are pretty good, 800 and something grams, take a beating to snap.Either way if you want lower rise, just get a lower rise stem or take some spacers off, although it won't make a huge amount of difference, niether will new forks.
