davey1991 Posted January 29, 2011 Report Share Posted January 29, 2011 Graphics would usually make this a no go for me, but they go just right with his setup, i like it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
craigjames Posted January 30, 2011 Report Share Posted January 30, 2011 Bike looks nice, what's different with these forks? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
netto Posted January 30, 2011 Author Report Share Posted January 30, 2011 Cross post from Richmond trials (Discussion is about hs-33 forks, but the changes still apply) : Rockman has made some design changes to the Spade forks for 2011. We've just received the 4bolt versions, and they look amazing. As you can see in the picture, the taper for the crown race is very gradual (you can barely see it!). The dropouts are also a little smaller than the previous iteration. The steerer is also thicker near the crown area. There is a lot of material there. Here are some pics of the matching tapered forks supplied with the grey Slate 3 tapered frame. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

damon Posted February 1, 2011 Report Share Posted February 1, 2011 How do you find rear Sticky Light? Compare it to regular Sticky or some Conti kevlar ones. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
netto Posted February 4, 2011 Author Report Share Posted February 4, 2011 (edited) How do you find rear Sticky Light? Compare it to regular Sticky or some Conti kevlar ones. I like them a lot. It's more stable for me than the continental rubberqueen/trialsqueen. The compound might be slightly less grippy, but it's certainly more usable on angled and cambered obstacles. Overall, it's a more usable tire for me. Edited February 4, 2011 by netto Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
