mr ailsbury Posted August 14, 2011 Report Share Posted August 14, 2011 Ok, my old (about 6/7 years) Pair of Echo Urbans just snapped so obviously I need some new forks. I'm planning on just buying another pair of Urbans considering how good mine have been but thought i'd see what people considered good forks these days seen as its been so long since I last bought a pair! The only decent parts i've had that are newer than 2006 model are made by Trialtech so Trialtech forks are a possible choice... What do people think of them?

DeVal Posted August 14, 2011 Report Share Posted August 14, 2011 (edited) trial tech sport are good, especially if your running maggy rim brakes up front (ive been told) no flex when braking (non ive noticed) meaning longer life of the material around the mounts. If your running disc then im not sure, you could always get trial tech sport (disc only) Edited August 14, 2011 by DeVal Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mikee Posted August 15, 2011 Report Share Posted August 15, 2011 (edited) If you want strong, solid forks... Then Trialtech IS the way to go. I have had Urbans in the past and they are not in the same league as my Trialtechs. They are far better.

AndrewEH1 Posted August 15, 2011 Report Share Posted August 15, 2011 If you are planning on running front disc then Trialtech Forks are king, haven't had experience with 4-bolt forks but I have no doubt that they will be just as good!

Canardweb Posted August 15, 2011 Report Share Posted August 15, 2011 I have had both disc version and HS33 version of the trialtech sport! Nothing to say except they are awesome! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mr ailsbury Posted August 17, 2011 Author Report Share Posted August 17, 2011 With the Trial Tech forks If I have to cut them down further than the threaded part i'm assuming I can just fit a star nut and a normal top cap and they'll work as normal?
