nezza01 Posted May 23, 2008 Report Share Posted May 23, 2008 Hey everyone I've been riding on a Vario Tibo build for about 6 months on and off, and the forks that are on it are way too heavy and its making the geometry setup all to cock and all the front wheel wants to do is rapidly drop. Has anyone got an idea of what lightweight forks would most suit me for my Vario. Any ideas would be much appreciated as it is driving me insane at the minute and need to change the forks!!

Cheers Neil Well it depends on how light, what brakes your running, but echo forks are normally good. http://www.tartybikes.co.uk/category.php?id=40 Echo controls mayby?

Skoze Posted May 23, 2008 Report Share Posted May 23, 2008 (edited) The new DOB forks when they're more freely availible I need to keep track on these things.. Feels like you're riding without a front wheel! so light! and really stiff too! Matt Edited May 24, 2008 by Skoze Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Yorkshire Dale Posted May 24, 2008 Report Share Posted May 24, 2008 Tarty bikes are doing echo control forks for £75, there a bargin and there light and strong as hell! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Eisbein Posted May 24, 2008 Report Share Posted May 24, 2008 if you are runnig V in front i can recomend Cannodale's P-Bone or mayby a Fatty R. for sure control is an allround good fork though... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nezza01 Posted May 30, 2008 Author Report Share Posted May 30, 2008 Thanks for the advice guys... I'm running disc on the front, at the minute they are the FSA forks, and they are rubbish, my mate used my frame for a while and ran fattys on the front while I used my other frame, and it rode so much better and felt so much lighter front end. Like you say, the echo forks look cheap and light, may well go for a set of them. Thanks Neil Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thanks Neil I generally swear by the Echo Urban forks; come in disc, V or magura mounts, light, strong, and won't break the bank. Oh, and happy validation.

nezza01 Posted May 30, 2008 Author Report Share Posted May 30, 2008 Many thanks Rich What do you think to the DOB Magnesiums? My mate tells me I'm fighting a losing battle trying to get my Vario to be an awesome geometry ride, but i'm determined and have heard some good reports about them, so not giving up just yet! Thinking about it I should never really have sold my Pashley as it suited me to a tee! Neil Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
