A.Baxter Posted July 15, 2015 Report Share Posted July 15, 2015 Hey peeps, just after some new forks but I seem to remember there being a lot of problems with the SL forks breaking ? i did hear of a possibility they've been changed to make them less snap happy? Has anybody got any idea if this is true or had experience with the forks ? The maggy version not disc. Cheers Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mark W Posted July 15, 2015 Report Share Posted July 15, 2015 The Sport Lite 26" 4-bolt forks were re-called after a couple of riders broke them suspiciously quickly (including Jack Carthy), but all the others have been spot on, and the 'new' batch of them have been working fine too. I think Ross McArthur had one of the original 4-bolt versions and didn't want to send his back and might still be using them now with no issues. They're really good forks (the riders who were testing the prototypes/samples found they last a lot longer than any other alloy forks they'd been using), it was just some sort of manufacturing issue from what I can remember. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There are so many out there for road bikes (or cyclocross where they take some abuse as well) to choose from... Some things are just not really necessary. Those forks, levers etc. on the other hand... That sidehop to rear... wow! Edited May 26, 2016 by niconj Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
