gft001 Posted May 24, 2009 Report Share Posted May 24, 2009 Hey, Just wanted some advice on which forks are good, obviously I'm guessing people will say trialtech sport but the cheapest I could find them was £90 which is slightly too pricey, unless I could pick some up second hand. I was just wondering if there were any cheaper forks that are light and not prone to snapping.cheers. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

gft001 Posted May 24, 2009 Author Report Share Posted May 24, 2009 Oh just realised I didnt say that I want 26" forks. as echo lites are just 20", although there is the echo sl in 26" anyone know if that is any good? I've heard they're prone to breaking. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Muel Posted May 24, 2009 Report Share Posted May 24, 2009 The best stock forks out at the moment are Trialtech/Viz, definately worth the investment if you ask me! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
onza rider.. Posted May 24, 2009 Report Share Posted May 24, 2009 if u like your bike to be light then get something like koxx forxx or trialtech or if u want a strong pair that are a bit heavier .then get zoo.echol lite/urban ! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gft001 Posted May 24, 2009 Author Report Share Posted May 24, 2009 if u like your bike to be light then get something like koxx forxx or trialtech or if u want a strong pair that are a bit heavier .then get zoo.echol lite/urban !the koxx forxx were a good shout,but again too expensive as I've only got about £40 (hence why I'm thinking secong hand), and it seems they are heavier than the echo urbans which are cheaper. so anyone have any suggestions for my price range?? cheers.

Kieran Posted May 25, 2009 Report Share Posted May 25, 2009 I would get Echo Urbans. Although if you are looking for something really light then try-all would probably be the best thing. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dan Thornton Posted May 25, 2009 Report Share Posted May 25, 2009 In my opinion, i wouldnt get echo urbans,Ive got a pair, and they flex loads. they're pretty prone to snap aswell.I'd reccomend ZOO! forks.Dan. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

A.Baxter Posted May 27, 2009 Report Share Posted May 27, 2009 All monty forks weigh very little, the only problem is that they are not the strongest of forks. Adam Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
