JohnyMilton Posted January 17, 2011 Report Share Posted January 17, 2011 Nope and Nope. And they are prototypes... I was joking about them making road bike forks. I'm guessing you have a hundred questions about them, but they carbon legs with an alloy steerer? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
craigjames Posted January 17, 2011 Report Share Posted January 17, 2011 They look taper steerer unless my eyes deceive me? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AdamR28 Posted January 17, 2011 Report Share Posted January 17, 2011 As usual, there are no proper details until we've actually seen the parts Would guess at alloy steerer though yeah. 1 1/8" internal bottom, 1 1/8" integrated top (frames will be on our site as soon as we get the headsets for them).

monty221ti Posted January 17, 2011 Report Share Posted January 17, 2011 i have some pictures of the forks:) they are full carbon. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
craigjames Posted January 17, 2011 Report Share Posted January 17, 2011 i have some pictures of the forks:) they are full carbon. Scary..... I guess if manufactured and designed properly they could work quite well. Although I hate to think what the price tag will be. Think they potentially missed a trick by not using a tapered steerer.

AdamR28 Posted January 17, 2011 Report Share Posted January 17, 2011 i have some pictures of the forks:) they are full carbon. Those are the 1st prototypes, the ones on Vince's current bike are 2nd gen. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Leistonbmx Posted January 21, 2011 Report Share Posted January 21, 2011 Think they potentially missed a trick by not using a tapered steerer. Although that limits the forks to a frame/headset combo. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Laurence--Trials Posted January 25, 2011 Report Share Posted January 25, 2011 The BB yoke on that stock looks f**king strong. Why dont you get BB yokes on mods? just the BB shell? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Luke Rainbird Posted January 25, 2011 Report Share Posted January 25, 2011 It's mostly a clearance thing - on a mod there's a plenty of room between the tyre and the BB shell where as on a stock you need all the room you can get just to make things fit Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Alex Dark Posted January 25, 2011 Report Share Posted January 25, 2011 The BB yoke on that stock looks f**king strong. Why dont you get BB yokes on mods? just the BB shell? Because on mods you can get away with a bracing plate underneath. Check all the older style mods ( t-pro, zona zip, echo lite ) and they all used fully cnc'd bb yokes something the Lynx sorely needs. The Koxx stock looks great, the bb yoke is beautifull engineered. Was waiting for someone to release a frame with the BB shell integrated properly into the yoke without either being fking massive and heavy or simply welded on.
