Alex Dark Posted August 12, 2010 Report Share Posted August 12, 2010 Got some Fly guys and wondering what people though of them really...cant be bothered to go to the hassle of chopping the steerer etc if they're actually really weak or flawed in some way. I don't ride hard...do fair amount of taps and gaps to fronts but NO hooks. Will be running them front magura mount. Anyone snapped em? How long if above? Reason for the change is im running some disc only urbans and ive got pretty pissed off with my Hope Mono Trial...really want to go back to front magura, but dont fancy ripping these forks apart.

N.Wood Posted August 12, 2010 Report Share Posted August 12, 2010 Pretty sure they were reeeally strong, just looked like dogshit. Personally never saw/heard anyone snap a set. EDIT: I'm talking shit, I was talking about the 5 piece Guy forks. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ali C Posted August 12, 2010 Report Share Posted August 12, 2010 I heard the opposite. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dan Clark Posted August 12, 2010 Report Share Posted August 12, 2010 Yeah, weigh next to nothing and snap horrendously easy. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

EDIT: I'm talking shit, I was talking about the 5 piece Guy forks. Smart Guys? I heard the opposite. Opposite about Smart Guys or Fly Guys Ali? Same Leg as the Viz which is pretty damn similar to the Trialtech...just thinner steerer tube? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ali C Posted August 12, 2010 Report Share Posted August 12, 2010 I knew what I was on about! Fly Guys never seemed that strong. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Alex Dark Posted August 12, 2010 Author Report Share Posted August 12, 2010 Hm...stronger than Urbans Ali? I want front magura..I'm fed up with everything else. I snap Avid BB7 calipers, my Hope just wont bite properly (any advice?! )and if I went Vee I'd need a whole new setup. So it's back full circle to Magura which begs the question which forks? Cannot justify or afford trialtechs....at least new. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dan Clark Posted August 12, 2010 Report Share Posted August 12, 2010 They had a bonded steerer too (I think), which is where they will probably snap. Not as strong as Urbans anyway. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
