Mark W Posted February 21, 2005 Report Share Posted February 21, 2005 Hey all, Was trying to get an idea of how much rake the Echo Team forks have on them, so could any T-Pro riders with Team forks bosh some pics in here? Thanks (N) Mark. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GuyJames Posted February 21, 2005 Report Share Posted February 21, 2005 Humm, I don't know what "rake" is but I had Teams on my T-Pro (before I killed the frame!) and they felt lovely. Slightly shorter than the standard Onza ones supplied but this only gave the front end a flicker feel which made riding loads easier.

Dr. Nick Riviera Posted February 21, 2005 Report Share Posted February 21, 2005 rake = forwards bending Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HarshRider Posted February 22, 2005 Report Share Posted February 22, 2005 not particully for bending but the length and angle from head set to centre of wheel! shorter forks longer reach, longer forks shorter reach! etc im sure ive seen some pictures of some t pros with team forks somewhere!

Waynio Posted February 22, 2005 Report Share Posted February 22, 2005 yo mark, the echo/zoo 20" mod forks lower the front end more so in theory make it feel nicer in my opinion, i dont know why onza dont just make there steel forks shorter to make them feel like the echo/zoo forks that cost like £70 or summit. would make the bikes look nice and feel so much better too. it helps cos: 1) lowers front end 2) makes it easier hooking stuff 3) makes it easier to go upto a wall and put the front wheel on without it throwing you off the back. if you call it wheel swopping or swithcing......... 4) drops the b/b a little bit (sort of better for antural getting your cranks down if your a biu person) 5) usually the echo/zoo forks will make the biek shorter wheel base Waynio............................ iv seen a few t-pros in the shop with echo/zoo forks on and i think they look alot nicer, same should happen with the t-mag n t-lite. the problem with loong forks is more pressure goes through them so they more reknown for snapping (alloy with bonded steerer espeically) they also bend easier if the dont snap cos of the leverage on them. seen plenty like it...........
