isitafox Posted January 14, 2011 Report Share Posted January 14, 2011 Now I've got my because built up and I've gone front maggie (which by the way is unbelievable) I'm a bit concerned with my forks. I did a trade for some Ashton forks as was getting desperate for some with rim mounts and couldn't afford to buy without selling my urbans, however I didn't expect the brake to be so damn good and I'm now worried about them snapping as they flex like mad when the brake is pulled. Would I be better going for some urbans again or trying to club some more cash together and getting some trialtechs? Or am I worrying about nothing and should stick with what I've got???

Mark W Posted January 14, 2011 Report Share Posted January 14, 2011 Trialtechs will definitely outlast Urbans, so although more expensive in the short-term, they're more cost effective in the long-term. Plus they're just better in pretty much every way Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
trialsmax04 Posted January 14, 2011 Report Share Posted January 14, 2011 Love my urbans. Although i do know trialtechs are good, i would have said its fairly even. Just bare in mind new urbans are front mount magura. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
isitafox Posted January 14, 2011 Author Report Share Posted January 14, 2011 (edited) I'd best get saving then! Will have to have a dig around for some bits to flog as well to raise some cash though my bday is coming up in a month so can probably blag some ££ then to spend. Can't wait for the season to start again and get some comps done!!! Edited January 14, 2011 by isitafox Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Greetings Posted January 15, 2011 Report Share Posted January 15, 2011 I'm a bit of a weight weenie and because of that I'll always be faithful to 4bolt Echo SL forks. On a maggie they have little flex and depending on your riding a pair might even last a year. One just needs to keep a look out for cracks and replace the fork before it splits into 3 bits.
