I live in Canary Island ( very Nice XD ), far from Léscala Yes, I prefer the inspired with 20" forks. But whit a tyres 2.30 I have iron out the fork a few.

craigjames Posted July 6, 2010 Report Share Posted July 6, 2010 Strange idea, if it rides nice then awesome, but it's going to make some noticeable changes in the intended geometry. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mark W Posted July 6, 2010 Report Share Posted July 6, 2010 Steeper head angle would be tickety boo though. Ground the dropouts on my forks to make it a bit steeper (only lowered the BB a little bit), planning on putting some grub screws in my dropouts to steepen the headtube angle too. Would make spins and front wheel moves a lot nicer. If I could run a set of 20" forks that'd accomodate an actually good front tyre I'd give it a go...

If I could run a set of 20" forks that'd accomodate an actually good front tyre I'd give it a go... yes, the head angle is a few more, the handlebar it more active, but it not problem for me, I have a stem 110/35º, but 90/35º can it better ?? the BB is a few more low, the conjunt of chance do it more stable on rear waheel and too fell better for upload obstacles Mark, Stan,Ali c ....... thanks for the inspiration brakeless sorry bad english Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mark W Posted July 7, 2010 Report Share Posted July 7, 2010 Haha, no problem I tried some Echo Urban 20" and Trialtech 20" forks yesterday, but 'cos I run a Holy Roller 2.4 on the front it just didn't work Would've been a nice experiment!

I and my Friend ,we have a zoo 20" with a tyres 2.30 Kenda-Krad y Dmr MOTO 2.2 But we fork metal filing (reduce with a file - lime- sandpaper - scarper...etc ), i think the echo urban 20" with a few of file ¡¡¡ work ok, I test a echo urban 20" some time ago with a tyre 2.0 and it work well Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
