Luke Dunstan Posted June 18, 2010 Report Share Posted June 18, 2010 Are these forks any good? (for a budget) They'll be going on a 2007 t-pro frame. Any advice would be great. Cheers. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
trialsrider101 Posted June 18, 2010 Report Share Posted June 18, 2010 Yes they would I had them a while ago, very strong and quite light . For a sturdy front end these forks very good especially for a tight budget. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

dirt jumper jake Posted June 18, 2010 Report Share Posted June 18, 2010 If your looking to upgrade your bike, i wouldnt even so much as entertain them. definately worth looking around for a while and seeing what comes up like echo forks etc...

The other option is some onza forks, I'm not weight concerned but I'd like a slightly longer wheel base. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

How much are you wanting to increase your wheelbase by? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rab shropshire Posted June 18, 2010 Report Share Posted June 18, 2010 having curved blade forks doesnt necesarily increase your wheelbase mate Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Luke Dunstan Posted June 18, 2010 Author Report Share Posted June 18, 2010 (edited) It doesnt as straight blade forks are usually angled foward anyway Haha great, I'm not a techy. But thinking about it I guess curved forks won't be as angled as straight blade forks? EDIT: Just bought the Monty forks. he took an offer of £20.
