Ross McArthur Posted October 27, 2008 Author Report Share Posted October 27, 2008 (edited) That inspired looks damn nice. any other pics of it?? How'd u snap them??Yea might get it posted up quite soon. Not happy with it yet. lol Just over use man. A small crack appeared and it just got bigger until they were so flexy, when I took off the wheel and gently pushed together the legs, the fork snapped!! They are DOB magnesium forks. Same as on the silver Ashton. the forks on the Ashton have a crack in them too so dont think they will last too long. light as f**k just not strong enough.wow. im loving that silver ashton. old school meets new school kinda thing going on. i think them ashtons were the first propper trials bike i saw. I've always wanted one.i didnt think the diamondback ashtons were released? (i saw that tucked away in the background hehe)how did you only manage to snap one side of your forks? at least u still have other bikes to play on.lucky swine.Old school meets new school? As in im using some new and old school parts? I can see where your coming from.The Ashton Diamondbacks arnt released yet.... Yea ill always have a back up bike or two lol. im never happy with what im riding.how long is that steerer on the ashton lol lookin nice though manI used to run a stem with a massive clamp size on those forks so it took up loads of steerer.

manuel Posted October 28, 2008 Report Share Posted October 28, 2008 how long did the dobs last ? (they scare me greatly.)how the fork did you get those stickers ? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ross McArthur Posted October 28, 2008 Author Report Share Posted October 28, 2008 how long did the dobs last ? (they scare me greatly.)how the fork did you get those stickers ?About 2 weeks till I found a crack in both my pairs, maybe less. then god knows how long I rode them for before the forks did that. I got my first pair the same time as you probably. The amount of time I had them doesnt really count. I didnt put much riding time into them and they still didnt hold up. The stickers?
