peggysue Posted June 21, 2010 Report Share Posted June 21, 2010 so my zoo forks finally gave in tonight with a nice crack across the magura mount and the fork leg, really want some trialtechs next so was wondering if they suffer from the same issues ? any one cacked any in the same way? its the stock ones by the way and im also using the neon v adapters with an avid v brake , and im assuming the extra length of the adapters puts more stress on the mounts, if they were to break the same way would using the adapters void and warranty? cheers Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rab shropshire Posted June 21, 2010 Report Share Posted June 21, 2010 if they dont know about the adaptors they cant refuse a warranty claim, i would just go for some v specific urbans Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
peggysue Posted June 21, 2010 Author Report Share Posted June 21, 2010 if they dont know about the adaptors they cant refuse a warranty claim, i would just go for some v specific urbans have thought about the urbans in the past but surely the trailtechs are the strongest forks going ?

N.Wood Posted June 21, 2010 Report Share Posted June 21, 2010 People have cracked the 4 bolt trialtechs - But they're about the best of the bunch I'd say. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rab shropshire Posted June 21, 2010 Report Share Posted June 21, 2010 i think thats what everyone is saying about the trialtechs, but i have also heard everyone saying how strong the urbans are, and with a proper v mount i would imagine that area will be stronger due to the dedicated mount. also they are only 85 quid urbans are my next move once my kots give up Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

rab shropshire Posted June 21, 2010 Report Share Posted June 21, 2010 urbans with a vee booster just to make sure Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
peggysue Posted June 21, 2010 Author Report Share Posted June 21, 2010 think im going to have a good think about this , when i bought the zoos from tartys i asked what was stronger , the urbans or zoo's and was told the zoo's so paid there and then .... they have lasted a good 8 months , the last 3 months really taking a hammering though. id never heard of any trilatechs cracking until now , so just going to mull it over , but please keep your recommendations coming in...ill keep checking back Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Canardweb Posted June 21, 2010 Report Share Posted June 21, 2010 I use a frint V-brake, and Echo Urban are the way to go! They are truly reliable. I have mine since last summer! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Matt Burrows Posted June 21, 2010 Report Share Posted June 21, 2010 If you're hard on forks, then Deng forks from the last few years have all been pretty rubbish. I've broken numerous sets of Urbans and Zoos, all lasting 6-8 weeks. I got 6 months out of my first set of trialtechs which cracked along the cable guide. Dave has removed that guide now and my 2nd set have lasted 8 months so far. In that time I've managed to snap 2 bottom headset cups and a set of bars... trialtech forks are bloody strong!

Matthew_Gibson Posted June 21, 2010 Report Share Posted June 21, 2010 i had a set of VIZ forks from tarty when they had them in, and had them bout a year wioth no real troble, I think there pretty much the same as the trials tech ones too!! just get the vee brake posts if your using vee, Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sponge Posted June 22, 2010 Report Share Posted June 22, 2010 Is there no way to get around the stress-riser properties of 4-bolt mounts on forks? There are some places in China that still sell the Ultra-6 Deng forks back from 2006 and previous if that helps? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

craigjames Posted June 22, 2010 Report Share Posted June 22, 2010 Rockman forks...... expensive, but incredibly stiff and the 4bolt mount/booster set up should see them lasting a fair bit longer than other 4 bolt forks. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
monkeyseemonkeydo Posted June 22, 2010 Report Share Posted June 22, 2010 what would you use ....? A disc Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
