Ben John-Hynes Posted June 7, 2010 Report Share Posted June 7, 2010 810 grams.... why bother forking out for them? *badum, tishhhhh" I see that bump to the head affected your sense of humour fairly badly. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Skoze Posted June 7, 2010 Report Share Posted June 7, 2010 Woah there, that was a sweet pun. But seriously, why bother with forks that'll probably die quickly that weigh as much as some urbans? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Alex Dark Posted June 7, 2010 Author Report Share Posted June 7, 2010 MMmmm the weight does seem a tad high,although one assumes they're pretty strong to compensate for this. There are some other carbon forks that are 900g.....crazy Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

chrishayton Posted June 7, 2010 Report Share Posted June 7, 2010 They are too long for a start. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Alex Dark Posted June 7, 2010 Author Report Share Posted June 7, 2010 Hm theyre not that huge....my Viz forks are 425mm so certainly usable. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mark W Posted June 8, 2010 Report Share Posted June 8, 2010 A set of long travel single crown forks would also be 'usable', but that doesn't mean you should use them Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sponge Posted June 8, 2010 Report Share Posted June 8, 2010 If those hideous Nuke Proof logos were removed, maybe someone might consider these as at least potential Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rafal Posted June 8, 2010 Report Share Posted June 8, 2010 4cm too high. About weight... 810g make it undestroyed. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Adrian J Posted June 14, 2010 Report Share Posted June 14, 2010 ive got a set of these on my get around bike, really decent forks but abit flexy and long for the trials bike even if you got them cut down abit. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
matt.price Posted June 14, 2010 Report Share Posted June 14, 2010 NO DEAL! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Andrew C Posted June 14, 2010 Report Share Posted June 14, 2010 They look pretty decent to me. I wonder if you cut them down to fit a mod if youd loose enough weight to make the price justifiable. Andri Berton has been running carbon forks for years so there must be some kind of advantage to them. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
craigjames Posted June 15, 2010 Report Share Posted June 15, 2010 They look pretty decent to me. I wonder if you cut them down to fit a mod if youd loose enough weight to make the price justifiable. Andrei Burton has been running carbon forks for years so there must be some kind of advantage to them. Andrei has never run carbon forks, i don't think he ever would as he seems to through a set of urbans every month.,... Danny Butler I think uses a set of custom made forks. I can't honestly believe you've asked this Alex, no is a plain and simple answer. They're a rigid XC fork, go for it if you really have that much of an aversion to your face.
