lapsa Posted April 9, 2008 Report Share Posted April 9, 2008 Bent echo urban and pure fork. Urban lasted me about 2 months and pure bent in just a few weeks (they both bent from hooking and were new). Can you suggest me some stronger forks?Here is me riding with bent urban fork: http://www.dailymotion.com/video/x4r2y7_5diena_extremeAnd me hooking: http://www.dailymotion.com/related/7981999...hook-up_extremeWheelbase in both pictures is ~1135 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mrBENN Posted April 9, 2008 Report Share Posted April 9, 2008 I say you do some taps and bend them back then they will be good as new. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Berrybike Posted April 9, 2008 Report Share Posted April 9, 2008 I say you do some taps and bend them back then they will be good as new.hmmm try the Viz forks, there quite strong!Im using them now and they are good , by that i mean strong and stiff.http://www.tartybikes.co.uk/product.php?id=10212http://www.trials-uk.co.uk/product.aspx?productid=393The steerer is very strong and the disc mounts come very well aligned so you dont need them facing which is a nice supprise for deng. My echo urbans were so out (the facing tool would not even fit), i had to send them back.Hope it helps Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
boiiing Posted April 9, 2008 Report Share Posted April 9, 2008 oh my god, pure fork too you're monster!Pure forks are shit.so are control forks and urbans.the 07/08 range dont have U6 alloy legs, so just bend/snap easy. i put about 4 cracks in my urbans in 3 months and i dont hook or tap.bent forward forks must make tapping so easy Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Adam Fisher Posted April 10, 2008 Report Share Posted April 10, 2008 i was just about to buy a pair of echo urbans aswell Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Alex Dark Posted April 10, 2008 Report Share Posted April 10, 2008 echo urbans pre 06s are fine...i think...koxx forxx are rubbish though, maybe some of the new v!z forks? zeromatts seem pretty damn solid Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
spaceman Posted April 11, 2008 Report Share Posted April 11, 2008 I wanted to get an Echo Urban, but my friend didn't have stock, so I took the Pure. It looks like the latest model?I'm not sure, but it has the CNC'ed steerer. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lapsa Posted April 11, 2008 Author Report Share Posted April 11, 2008 I'm considering 3 options now: echo control, gu and zoo fork. How strong are they? have many of them been broken? and witch one from these 3 do you think i should get? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Stig Posted April 11, 2008 Report Share Posted April 11, 2008 I think Ash Kennard went through 4 of these forks, correct me if im wrong.I'm pretty sure that was cus of the brake mounts not the strength of the actual forks Loves you cris.

stritm0nkey Posted April 11, 2008 Report Share Posted April 11, 2008 The ZOO! fork is very strong, because of the machined crown that goes very low and provides a huge surface for welding the legs. I have one and i think it s the best aluminum fork available.but if you tend to bend forks easily (which seems to be the case), i believe steel is better. curtis makes one with a reinforced steer tube as an option. good luck and try to absorb when you hit the front Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Duck Posted April 12, 2008 Report Share Posted April 12, 2008 Fakin' ell.Forget different forks, get some slim fast. How can Damon Watson do inhuman hooks and front wheel gaps and not bend his forks... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
froob Posted April 12, 2008 Report Share Posted April 12, 2008 Fakin' ell.Forget different forks, get some slim fast. How can Damon Watson do inhuman hooks and front wheel gaps and not bend his forks...I bet he does though. How would you know anyway? Just because you saw him in his vids? Well what if the forks in the majority of the clips where new every time.. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
