psycholist Posted December 21, 2007 Report Share Posted December 21, 2007 Was it bought new? Looks like a warranty job if it was. If there are a few years use on it then not as much of a surprise. Not good to see it snap through the extra thick steerer though... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Waynio Posted December 21, 2007 Report Share Posted December 21, 2007 where abouts are you from????if you know someone who has got a spare pair to "borrow" over the festive season have a borrow.I think alot of these 1 piece steerer forks are the way forward they are proving to be much stronger than bonded steerers etc.think yourself lucky, your un hurt and all you need to do is get a new pair of forks, it could have been alot worse............broken bones, write bike off etc etc Wayne Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

basher Posted December 21, 2007 Report Share Posted December 21, 2007 no shit forks snap!!just irriatating as i can't order new ones as the post etcNo all forks will snap eventually, your style of riding and how big the moves and type of riding determines how long they last though. If you do hooks of any sort then your forks will deffo snap at some point because of the stress put on them. Taps can cause them to go especially if your harsh at them.And yours where the 06 with the thinner steerer and you dont no how much abuse they took before. I have some 07 with the thick steerer which are practically new and where just built up and then rode once there 4bolt and disk pm me if your interested.
