markrat Posted January 13, 2009 Report Share Posted January 13, 2009 At the moment i have gusset forks on my toxsin (26") but it feels like the front end it too low. I checked on the net and it recons my forks are 403mm axle to crown. Which forks are longer than this and are nice and strong but no t too heavy.

psycholist Posted January 13, 2009 Report Share Posted January 13, 2009 If you like the way the bike currently handles steering wise, changing the handlebars or stem is the easiest way to raise the bars and a lot cheaper than buying a fork (And potentially having weird steering). The fork you have is a pretty normal length for a trials bike, if it's the length and offset the frame is designed for I'd definitely go the stem/riser bar route.

Luke Rainbird Posted January 13, 2009 Report Share Posted January 13, 2009 400/405mm is a pretty standard trials fork length. There are a few forks out there at around 410/415mm (check Tartybikes for more info) though if you're looking for much more rise I'm pretty sure there was a 435mm Toxsin fork available at some pointYou'd probably be better off running a different bar/stem setup though to be honest, at least as a trial to begin with Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
markrat Posted January 13, 2009 Author Report Share Posted January 13, 2009 well my frame is a toxsin 1 and im running a megamo stem (fairly long and quite a bit of rise) and megamo flat bars. MAybe its just ebcause the frame is new to me and i just need to get used to it Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cai Posted January 13, 2009 Report Share Posted January 13, 2009 Don't run flat bars get some nice risers...and if you insist on new forks then get some Echo Urbans - light, strong, look great, awsome geo. You can't go wrong. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
psycholist Posted January 13, 2009 Report Share Posted January 13, 2009 (edited) My urbans snapped without warning after 8 months through both legs at the top of the Magura mounts. Don't get the ones with the rear facing Magura mounts if you would prefer the front wheel to stay attached...

markrat Posted January 13, 2009 Author Report Share Posted January 13, 2009 M urbans snapped without warning after 8 months. Don't get the ones with the rear facing Magura mounts if you would prefer the front wheel to stay attached...LOl may stay away from then then. When i say flat bars they have as much rize as my old azonic PDW`s had Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jamie_Neal Posted January 14, 2009 Report Share Posted January 14, 2009 Zhi forks, especially the steel steered ones which I have, seem to be a bit longer - not sure of the exact length though. They've raised my bb by 5mm compared to echo controls. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
