Otacon Posted November 25, 2014 Report Share Posted November 25, 2014 Looking at getting a set of these forks. As i need V brake forks and unsure what to go for as Ive been out of the game for a few years. Are these strong? Like the strongest available? weight doesnt matter to me. People cracked them yet etc ? If so what else should i get ? Cheers, Danny Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Culshaw95 Posted November 25, 2014 Report Share Posted November 25, 2014 (edited) I think they're pretty much like the old trial tech and V!Z forks of which they were fairly strong. I'm considering getting some myself also I've not seen any cracked yet but thats probably because i've not looked into cracked sets Edited November 25, 2014 by Culshaw95 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

As far as dedicated V brake forks go I don't think you'll get a stronger fork. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rupintart Posted November 26, 2014 Report Share Posted November 26, 2014 A Cannondale Fatty is pretty damn strong. Lifetime warranty on the fork since it's a Cannondale product But those TNN forks are supposedly strong as hell. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ross McArthur Posted November 26, 2014 Report Share Posted November 26, 2014 The steerer un-bonded it's self from the crown on my set after a couple of weeks. Ill post a pic. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mark W Posted November 26, 2014 Report Share Posted November 26, 2014 I take it you don't ride for TNN any more then? To go back to culshaw95's post, they're like the older Try-All Forxx rather than the Trialtech ones. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mark W Posted November 26, 2014 Report Share Posted November 26, 2014 I haven't worked there for just under a year and a half so I'm not too sure, sorry. When I worked there I can't remember getting any negative feedback though, although due to their price I don't think that there were loads going out in any case. Seem to have a pretty positive rep on OTN where they had a couple of the test riders posting about them. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jake. Posted November 27, 2014 Report Share Posted November 27, 2014 Wanted these forks for ages but the fact I keep hearing about them cracking etc is just putting me off. Shame cause i think they look absolutely gorgeous too. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ross McArthur Posted November 27, 2014 Report Share Posted November 27, 2014 They also felt a bit low. 10mm lower than the sport TT forks and 5mm lower than the sport lites I think. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jigga Posted November 27, 2014 Report Share Posted November 27, 2014 Andrew Dickey, Nathan Mummery and Joe Brewer, the top three riders in Australia all use these forks for the security of having the steel steerer. Like anything aluminium being hammered under trials conditions, they will crack eventually at stress points i.e. brake mounts etc but i havent heard any of these Guy's having the TNN fork fail on them.

MartMini Posted November 27, 2014 Report Share Posted November 27, 2014 oh really!!! Wish i kept mine then! are those the TNN forks that snapped? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
craigjames Posted November 28, 2014 Report Share Posted November 28, 2014 are those the TNN forks that snapped? I would say his photo was in response to being told C'dale forks had a lifetime warranty. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
