Adam Griffiths Posted April 29, 2010 Report Share Posted April 29, 2010 I bought a set of Viz light 26 inch forks back in december and they snapped the other day when i was out riding. I am not a basher and i dont do anything to front wheel. I was just wondering has anybody else had this problem with these forks? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
J.KYDD Posted April 29, 2010 Report Share Posted April 29, 2010 I have run the same forks for around a year with a 203mm disc rotor and they've been awesome. I do alot of ups and gaps to front and have had no problems at all. Where abouts have yours snapped? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

eskimo Posted April 29, 2010 Report Share Posted April 29, 2010 Big rotor + light + gaps to front = your post. Kinda inevitable. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Adam Griffiths Posted April 29, 2010 Author Report Share Posted April 29, 2010 (edited) Big rotor + light + gaps to front = your post. Kinda inevitable. I said i dont do gaps up to front. they went just above the weld, i'm running a 203mm rotor on a bb7. I do not not mean to be condescending allthough i may sound it.

tmusson Posted April 29, 2010 Report Share Posted April 29, 2010 Exactly were my viz forks cracked. went for trialtecs with the warrenty Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Adam Griffiths Posted April 29, 2010 Author Report Share Posted April 29, 2010 Sorry those are the only photos ive got of the forks. Basically the forks snapped just above the weld for the disc brake mount. Tarty have stopped selling Viz Light Forks as far as i can see so i'll probably end up with the trialtechs but they are much heavier.

Mark W Posted April 30, 2010 Report Share Posted April 30, 2010 Loads of photos of snapped forks Tarty have stopped selling Viz Light Forks as far as i can see so i'll probably end up with the trialtechs but they are much heavier.
