BenLeacock™ Posted May 2, 2008 Report Share Posted May 2, 2008 26'' forks work fine i think ? If so the zoo forks are pritty swish ! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mark W Posted May 2, 2008 Report Share Posted May 2, 2008 26'' forks work fine i think ? If so the zoo forks are pritty swish !If you run disc, yeah, or if you buy steel ones and have the mounts re-welded an inch lower. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ogre Posted May 2, 2008 Report Share Posted May 2, 2008 If you run disc, yeah, or if you buy steel ones and have the mounts re-welded an inch lower.doesn't that put extra stress/new stress riser on forks = faster rape? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mark W Posted May 2, 2008 Report Share Posted May 2, 2008 Phil F's been running re-welded forks like that for a while and they've been fine. If they get re-welded well, they should be OK... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Krisboats Posted May 3, 2008 Report Share Posted May 3, 2008 Sorry to hear about your forks man, my friend has the same problem with his t-raptor forks,Obviously also made Ozna, sounds like its an Onza thing to make rubbish forks!!! Replace that word with budget They are cheap forks, generally cheap things don't last long. Onza also make some more expensive forks that last a while longer... i've had my smart guys for nearly 2 years. Unfortunately they're also about as light as the titanic was in relation to a rubber dingy. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mark W Posted May 4, 2008 Report Share Posted May 4, 2008 Please don't let this become another trials forum bullshit story."Your forks broke above the maggie mounts, if you had a booster on it would have been fine"It's a load of shit.In fairness, a bunch of people cracked their frames 'cos they weren't running boosters. Every fork that I've seen break there has broken there with a Magura on. Like you don't get disc forks breaking there if you're running disc, do you? It'd either be crown junction, steerer, or the good ol' fashioned tab-crack.Forks are getting lighter, and when you start using powerful rim brakes on them they're going to flex. Every time you stress aluminium it goes towards f**king it over 'cos of the way aluminium builds up stress accumatively (or whatever the f**k the word is...) - unlike steel/ti where they have a point where they can be flexed to without it damaging it.Either way, there's logic behind it.

Muel Posted May 4, 2008 Report Share Posted May 4, 2008 If you run a front maggy without a booster, then it's pretty obvious that it is more likely to brake, but it's not set in stone. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
