Lawnmowerman Posted September 2, 2005 Report Share Posted September 2, 2005 ashtons are ashtons and fatties are fatties (Y) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Big_J Posted September 2, 2005 Report Share Posted September 2, 2005 they are basically the same fork anyway, its just that some ashton forks have a 24" convertional v brake mounts aswel as 26" aswel. ...and alse the price is different, ashtons are generally cheeper, and correct me if im wrong, but i believe that cannondale fattys have gone out of manufacture?! and to be honest, who would waste money and time on changing the paint and sticker job to ashton?! (Y) they are ashtons mate, and would you really care that much if they wernt?! pointless topic if you ask me mate jak :D Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Kyle. ← just because you snapped them doesnt mean they are sh*t. you maybe an unbelivebly heavey rider and put too much stress on them (Y) but whats this got to do with the topic in hand?! jack Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lawnmowerman Posted September 2, 2005 Report Share Posted September 2, 2005 Kyle isnt a heavy rider. Our mate jim also did a set in Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ian Posted September 3, 2005 Report Share Posted September 3, 2005 rick they are ashtons cause jay dont deal with cannondale and plus it gives it away abit on the side of the fork dont it. or cant i read? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lankyri Posted September 3, 2005 Author Report Share Posted September 3, 2005 yes i know there ashtons but everyone has said they look well like the fatty's because of the mounts and that, so (Y) to you ian go and ride with jd Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Luke Rainbird Posted September 3, 2005 Report Share Posted September 3, 2005 Well maybe a more sensible question would have been "Is it just me, or do the mounts on my Ashtons look like those found on Fattys?" :P" Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Simpson Posted September 3, 2005 Report Share Posted September 3, 2005 Ricky son, im with ian on this one, there is a slight give away me thinks, maybe its the colour, or maybe its that it has ashton written down the side of them? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
andyzplace Posted September 3, 2005 Report Share Posted September 3, 2005 Ashton forks are sh*t i had them for 1 month and i snaped them in 3 haha. Kyle. ← Hmmm. I ran them for about 3 years and had no trouble. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lankyri Posted September 3, 2005 Author Report Share Posted September 3, 2005 look simp. if you read what i posted on trials nation then you would see that i say exactly the same thing :P Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Simpson Posted September 3, 2005 Report Share Posted September 3, 2005 Then if you know the ansa why open up a new thread? just get a split link or a chain tool ignore your differences with ian just get it sorted so we can ride, your just being far too stubborn sort it out!

jamiequin Posted September 3, 2005 Report Share Posted September 3, 2005 i prefer fattys, the ashtons colour scheme is horrible. :P Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
froggy Posted September 3, 2005 Report Share Posted September 3, 2005 They are Ashtons allthough I think they're trying to make the fork exactly like the fattys. Ashton ran fattys for eons. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

N.Wood Posted September 3, 2005 Report Share Posted September 3, 2005 The question has been answered, but they seem to be the newer Ashtons. The brake mount has gone back to a single post mount, due o the discontinuation of the ET signature frame. The older style, double post mount fork can be purchased via Base, and is just a de-stickered version. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
