1a2bcio8 Posted June 30, 2008 Report Share Posted June 30, 2008 Used the search function but to no immeadiate avail, so can anyone tell me of their experiences with forks but specfically which ones tend to be the strongest at the moment? I broke my echo urbans front hooking and although I've had them for over 6 months I've not been riding a great deal until recently, perhaps the last 3 months - this seems like a short time to me. In fairness though, my hooking is a bit heavy these days as I'm out of practice. So what's the current fork situation? I could do with a pair that are supportive of my dispractice! Cheers in advance Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Matthew62 Posted June 30, 2008 Report Share Posted June 30, 2008 I've ran KOxx forks, urbans and now Zoo forks. I changed away from urbans as i didn't like how flexy they felt, and i'm not sure they're considered to be that strong. All i know is my Zoo forks feel a lot stiffer, i know they're a bit heaveier but they feel pretty sturdy - maybe give them a go, i've heard only good things!

Jamie_Neal Posted June 30, 2008 Report Share Posted June 30, 2008 Zoo seem to be strong and stiff. The Hi-fi forks are also stiff but I snapped a set and I know Partz has snapped a set of the mod ones as well. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cadbury's cream egg Posted June 30, 2008 Report Share Posted June 30, 2008 viz = great . very strong too . and worth splashing out the extra cash . Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
1a2bcio8 Posted June 30, 2008 Author Report Share Posted June 30, 2008 Thanks for the advice fellas. I chose the zoo forks. Because they were heavier my mind made the assumption this probably equated to more strength than the Viz!. Probably wrong though... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

G-baby158 Posted June 30, 2008 Report Share Posted June 30, 2008 What about the gu forks on tarty for £105 ? are they strong ? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jason222 Posted June 30, 2008 Report Share Posted June 30, 2008 I too had an urban...the flex drove me crazy, mine for whatever reason flexed insanely more than my two friend's Urban forks...so I bought META forks. They're basically the same as koxx forks, but A LOT cheaper. Feels stiff, looks strong IMO. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CurtisRider Posted June 30, 2008 Report Share Posted June 30, 2008 Curtis forks. mine snapped and cracked rather easily, totally overrated Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rossi Posted June 30, 2008 Report Share Posted June 30, 2008 I'd say the Zoo! forks also. Gone through about 4-5 sets of urbans, pashleys, tuf guys, fattys, saracens etc, all bent, twisted or snapped. Yet to snap the Zoo! forks. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
