Pete.M Posted August 23, 2016 Report Share Posted August 23, 2016 Like it. I have some Ashton Justice forks (the raw ones that I used to have on my ET) if you want to keep it all Ashton. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mikee Posted August 23, 2016 Author Report Share Posted August 23, 2016 @Ross McArthur I haven't had the time to ride it properly yet, but the back brake seemed ok when i was just pissing about outside. I will give it a proper ride at the weekend. Fork coments taking on board after I had a bit of a cry. I have my inspired forks still, so I can have a bit of a play. @Pete.M I have 2 sets myself. Cheer anyway. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LEON Posted August 23, 2016 Report Share Posted August 23, 2016 Fattys can be weird, I had one set that were pretty straight, probably 30ish mm rake, then all the others had a huge 45ish mm, I think I got lucky/had a bent set. I think some Fourplay forks would make it ride much better though, fattys are really short at 395mm, but I don't know what fork the ET was made with, if it's normal Pashley forks then they were 395mm too.

Ross McArthur Posted August 23, 2016 Report Share Posted August 23, 2016 Does it feel light? Looks it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mikee Posted August 23, 2016 Author Report Share Posted August 23, 2016 As streety 24s go, it feels reasonably light. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The ET was designed to run with the original Ashton forks, which had brake mounts for 24" and 26" wheels. These were fairly similar to Fattys but I think Fattys are possibly a little bit shorter. I always remember mine have very little clearance between the bottom of the steerer and the tyre. I have two still somewhere but never measured the rake on them or compared them to the Ashton forks. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LEON Posted August 23, 2016 Report Share Posted August 23, 2016 Yeah I had some of those, the quality wasn't up there, but geo - wise they rode better than fattys. Straighter and slightly longer. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mikee Posted August 24, 2016 Author Report Share Posted August 24, 2016 Put the Inspired forks on it. They do feel better, which hurts inside a bit 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ross McArthur Posted August 24, 2016 Report Share Posted August 24, 2016 Na, embrace it. At least now you know for sure what'll die first! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mikee Posted October 20, 2016 Author Report Share Posted October 20, 2016 (edited) Changed some bits. Got some arcade bars and a new stem for it. Took the inspired forks off of it for my cannondale and put some ashton forks on it instead for now. Also put my king headset on and decided to take the back brake off. She will do for a winter play bike. Have been riding rocks all year though. So my spins, manuals and bunnyhops are a bit rusty. EDIT: I will probably whack some lacquer on the forks this weekend.

Mikee Posted November 16, 2017 Author Report Share Posted November 16, 2017 Just as a heads up and to gauge any interest, this may be up for sale soon. It's pretty much as is from the last picture. I have barely ridden it, so it still looks pretty fresh from the respray. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
