krazykid009 Posted October 30, 2010 Report Share Posted October 30, 2010 Hey all. Am getting a mod in a few weeks time and am looking to change the whole front end on it as soon as I get it. I wsa browsing the web for forks when I came across these: Forks. Are these the ones from the new Rip and Bird, or are they a different set. They seem pretty light at 763g. Just wondering what people think of them. I can't find them on the onza website, so are they actually Onzas? Thanks James Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

krazykid009 Posted October 30, 2010 Author Report Share Posted October 30, 2010 What mod are you getting?? 09 Bird. I got it for £250 from my local bike shop brand new. It's quite heavy though but I've worked out I can get it under 10kg by replacing forks, stem, bars and switching to FFW. I know it's bad but I'm used to a 9.6kg stock so I like light bikes. The plan is upgrade the most important things, and then switch the frame after a year or two for something like a skull or maybe a gu.

isitafox Posted October 30, 2010 Report Share Posted October 30, 2010 They're definately real Onza forks, I think Rocknroll are mainly Onza dealers when it comes to the trials side of things and tend to get 1 or 2 bits that Tartybikes don't so that might explain your concern. If you want to know any more about them why not send Mike Poyzer a PM and I'm sure he'll fill you in with what you want to know! http://www.trials-forum.co.uk/index.php?showuser=790 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Alex Dark Posted October 30, 2010 Report Share Posted October 30, 2010 I think theyre what Joe Seddo used to run...in which case they're the same as the Zona Zedd / Echo lite forks but im not 100%. If they are they're damn light, strong forks Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
