Petr Stephens Posted December 14, 2008 Report Share Posted December 14, 2008 I got some trial forks for around £130, they look good and weigh nothing, I advise getting them considering that the Onza forks do weigh a ton. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Revolver Posted December 14, 2008 Report Share Posted December 14, 2008 Difference is, having £140 to spend on forks means he gets to choose from all of them.The other thing being, if he goes for some echo ones, he'll likely have change.

Revolver Posted December 14, 2008 Report Share Posted December 14, 2008 Ok thanks, I think I might go for the cheaper forks or try and buy the try-all forks second hand.Max(Y)If you have lots of money, try the try-all forx(x?)I think the echo team forks are quite popular. Also, the echo SL ones are £74, which is quite a good price for some proper light forks.Link.Explain that then.Reading that wasn't a pleasant experience, what with All The Capital Letters At The Beginning Of Every Word.

A.Baxter Posted December 14, 2008 Report Share Posted December 14, 2008 Get sum zoo! forks = £80-90 , echo lites around £60, or sum echo urban 20", all really good forks and then you still have money left over for other parts. I had onza ones and then as soon as i got my zoo! 's the weight so so much less XDAdam Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
