forteh Posted April 1, 2010 Report Share Posted April 1, 2010 (edited) ok sweet ive just said il take them, brand new 20 quids. happy days Theyre very light forks, not particularly strong though. I believe earlier ones with a bonded steerer were weaker, have a look see up through the crown and you should see if its welded or bonded. I had some (bonded) ones and never had any strength problems with them, never did anything to front though, main problem I had with them was the dropouts couldnt hold the wheel in with a disk, no matter what I tried the wheel would pull out of square as soon as the brake was applied hard As youre still learning they should be fine for a while Mine on the old boa, last seen on danny kearns bike! :D :D Edited April 1, 2010 by forteh Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
