JIX Posted July 28, 2005 Report Share Posted July 28, 2005 Well in the last couple of months I have cracked the disc mount on my Ti forks and tonight I cracked my ashtons at the crown weld :( . So I need some new forks. As you can probally tell Im quite harsh to forks as I like front taps, hooks, hanging off the front wheel and gaps to front wheel. I like the way my echo control short rode with my ashtons on so I would like some forks that are 415mm long. So I want some proper tough forks that are not too heavy ( yeah wouldnt we all ) say under 1050g that are 415mm long with a disc mount for the mono trial to go with my harsh style. I have used the search. Any fork recommendations are welcome because I can see what is out there, I just dont know how good they are??? :ermm: :D Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Siders77 Posted July 28, 2005 Report Share Posted July 28, 2005 Even though I know NOTHING about Stocks i'll post anyway. :( Quite a few people like the Echo Urbans or maybe Pashleys. I don't know how strong they are but it's just to give you an idea I suppose. :ermm: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Janson Posted July 28, 2005 Report Share Posted July 28, 2005 echo urbans creak. it pissed me off enough to buy a set of smartguys. brillian forks btw, might be a bit short for you but they seem good... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Luke Drewery Posted July 28, 2005 Report Share Posted July 28, 2005 I would have a look at the echo hi-fi forks, lots of gusseting and designed for pure trials moves such as hooks as someone has mentioned. I havent heard of anybody who owns a pair though so i dont know if they would be any good... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JIX Posted July 29, 2005 Author Report Share Posted July 29, 2005 Nah it done now any way. I would NEVER use echo forks :( Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Matt Burrows Posted July 29, 2005 Report Share Posted July 29, 2005 I'll only ever use U6 alloy forks. After breaking so many 7005 alu forks I am impressed with how much riding my Urbans have taken even though they are lighter. The new Hi-Fi forks look even better :( Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
James Quigley Posted July 29, 2005 Report Share Posted July 29, 2005 Onza smart guy forks are probably the best strength to weight combo around. There solid without being too heavy. Urbans with a disc is a no go. The disc mounts crack, or snap off and the forks themselves flex to buggery. My friend bent his only a couple of weeks after getting them. Haven't seen anyone riding the new hi-fi forks, or the GU forks but they're supposed to be good Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
joe b Posted July 29, 2005 Report Share Posted July 29, 2005 I'd say get some echo urbans! :( I dont know of any to have cracked. There is probably some people who have cracked a pair but not many! Cheers, Joe. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ian Posted July 30, 2005 Report Share Posted July 30, 2005 Haven't seen anyone riding the new hi-fi forks, or the GU forks but they're supposed to be good ← ive got the hi-fi forks on my vinco they seem to be really nice. they have a nice flex which is good they seem to be made very well indeed. im not a very harsh rider cause i dont really tap at the moment so ill see how they go.
