Kieran Morrison Posted October 29, 2010 Report Share Posted October 29, 2010 (edited) Hey, getting new forks for xmas just so if my dobs snap i have a set of forks to just stick on and not be out of riding. Now i love how my bike is really light, and the front end is a feather. I would like the SL's for their lightness, but heard really bad things about them. Urbans seem good, but heavy! compared to my dobs anyway. So would sl's last as long as my dobs have (a few years!) or will they snap within months. Cheers.

LukasMcNeal Posted October 29, 2010 Report Share Posted October 29, 2010 If you get SLs your an idiot. They just snap in half down the legs with no warning usually. Even if your a "light" rider. Urbans deffo. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Julius Czar Posted October 29, 2010 Report Share Posted October 29, 2010 (edited) I think they called the SL's back in and beefed them up a bit, I'm not sure though.. Edited October 29, 2010 by Julius Czar Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
