Aaron.Tottman Posted September 15, 2008 Report Share Posted September 15, 2008 I'm using urbans with a 203mm bb7 as title but the forks are cracking at top of the brake boss cos of the huge addapter on the bb7.anyone else had this problem? can anyone recomend some better forks for around the same price(ish, i'll go bout £20 more,maybe?!?!)looking at the trialtechs but can't really afford it??cheers guysAaRoN Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ash-Kennard Posted September 15, 2008 Report Share Posted September 15, 2008 this problem decided it would rape me for about a year, so i bought atomz forks, (+30 mounts) and bought a 160 adapter and running a hope 190 disc. and i havent had a problem since. and i would consider myself a basher if im honest. i went through the 07 zoo forks in 3 days... these have lasted well over 6 months Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ogre Posted September 15, 2008 Report Share Posted September 15, 2008 use 185 disk? no way do you need 200mm even on a stock. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

tris Posted September 16, 2008 Report Share Posted September 16, 2008 I've had at least 4 people fall off my 24" by the aid of my front 203mm BB7 My ex-whore even broke her arm.......I love my brakes, but do you really need a 203mm!!! They are insane, I'd bet mine could stop a car pretty damn fast..... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Aaron.Tottman Posted September 16, 2008 Author Report Share Posted September 16, 2008 Then you're doing something wrong.LIKE WHAT???i wouldn't be running the 203mm if i didn't think that i needed it.i did use a 180mm rota with my bb7 before i forked out for the 203mm and i'll never go back to 180unless i was using a hydro.been put of them. when i had money i went through a formula before 180mm, a loise 160mm and a hope mono 160mm and they were great until levers and seals started to go.and for the price of the parts i think i'll stick with cable brake.£67 insted of £130??!?!?!?!?
