Ben John-Hynes Posted May 14, 2008 Report Share Posted May 14, 2008 I used echo control forks and a d521 rim and that was fine!Not sure how much wider urbans are though!Try it and see!There's a definate way around the problem[tensile mounts^] so get some urbans and have a try!

dec Posted May 15, 2008 Report Share Posted May 15, 2008 or you could do what echo rob did on my bike when i swapped bikes with him if you are running plastic backings then get another set of plastic backing and glue the new set of backing onto the back of your backings with the pads in if you get me so basically glue more backing onot yours if you have plastic backings it is a real bodge but it works well and no it aint spongy dec Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Muel Posted May 15, 2008 Report Share Posted May 15, 2008 I'd do the double backings mod, but I'd screw them together, glueing seems a bit dangerous to me... Do both. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
