liam-pantera Posted October 1, 2007 Report Share Posted October 1, 2007 hmm what forks did u go from ? its possible that the echo lits are a lower fork wich would make your steering sharper and could effect your tires if ur leaning over the front end more because its lower apart from that id say get a new tire .

liam-pantera Posted October 1, 2007 Report Share Posted October 1, 2007 yh onza forks have a 2 inch hight difference m8 you will get used to it soon and yh your ready for a new tyre i asume your using a creepy crawler and when they get low on life they get punctures every 30 seconds Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Muel Posted October 2, 2007 Report Share Posted October 2, 2007 (edited) What do you mean the steering feels wierd?It will feel sharper because the head angle is steeper because they are shorter. Just get used to them, they are a massive improvement. It took me a while when I swapped my Onza forks for lites.

I got like 6 punctures in 2 weeks not realising it was the pressure of the tube pushing on the edges of the drill outs because of rubbish rim tape.Phil Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
