Stevie Posted January 10, 2010 Report Share Posted January 10, 2010 I was in the exact same situation about a month ago, and asked the same question Everyone was telling me that SL's snap so i got some urbans and they look hot And are alot lighter than the onza ones.

Borat Posted January 10, 2010 Report Share Posted January 10, 2010 You wan't echo lites! Or zoo! forks. But IMO anything is lighter than onza forks, as they are steel. My zoo! forks are the heavyest forks on the market, yet when I compare the weight to my onza forks, it's scaryly big! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ogre Posted January 10, 2010 Report Share Posted January 10, 2010 (edited) echo urban forks are spot on for the price/weight/strength you get them in any flavour of braking option, 2 colours i won't run anything else i see forks as disposable and wouldn't spend more than £100 on them, i know trialtechs are good, but there to dear and they'll still snap yummy 152 grams heavier than the sl's, which is merk all, you could save that in a lighter rim/spokes, i'd rather have less weight in my rims you can usually predict if there gunna go tits up forks will just surprise you one day Edited January 10, 2010 by ogre Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
