JonMack Posted June 15, 2008 Report Share Posted June 15, 2008 Lucky they're steel. Alu would have just snapped. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Adrian Posted June 16, 2008 Author Report Share Posted June 16, 2008 (edited) yea rofl, with the zoo forks are the blades thicker then urbans? or is the only strength diff the cnc'd crown? i dont know anyone thats snapped forks at the crown before... so why add uber strength there? i should be getting some urbans today which should do for now but we'll see Edited June 16, 2008 by adrian@eastcoasttrials Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ryan. Posted June 16, 2008 Report Share Posted June 16, 2008 That was the funniest day!! oh my god we saw the stem was cracked so thought it would be funny to try and see if we could get the crack bigger, adrian rode into a wall and the forks just bent f**k loads, so we did what any normal person would do and carried on till it was impossible to ride it Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Wet Banana Posted June 16, 2008 Report Share Posted June 16, 2008 Nice. More to the point though, 900 isn't short, I know someone that used to have a 895 stock Echo. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Adrian Posted June 16, 2008 Author Report Share Posted June 16, 2008 Nice. More to the point though, 900 isn't short, I know someone that used to have a 895 stock Echo. 900 was just a random number, its obv shorter!lol imagine if the forks were there proper shape and that length, the frame would have to be silly small to have the wheels that close lol when you turn the front wheel hits the pedal lol its so funny to ride Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
spaceman Posted June 17, 2008 Report Share Posted June 17, 2008 Curtis forks are strong or maybe some Planet X Knifens Are the knifens still available? And are leeson forks good too? (the 360 dropouts are sure one of a kind!) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
