Waynio Posted September 19, 2005 Report Share Posted September 19, 2005 you cant use a disc over 160mm as i have found out the hard way, also they are quite strong, as long as you dont crash them, they are standard at 440mm or something the new ones, iv had some modified by pace themselves and had to write and sign a disclaimer to say that i wouldnt sue if they broke on me and caused me injury. they are nice forks mine in particular they are really short the tyre is right under the crown and i think i measured them at 380mm so there not as flexy as the normal standard height ones. Waynio........................... you could get a set and modify them yourself if need. easy enough to do. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Matt_Tupman Posted September 19, 2005 Report Share Posted September 19, 2005 LOL! Whiteboy you crack me up!

Whiteboy Posted September 19, 2005 Author Report Share Posted September 19, 2005 so would they be ok for a light rider? they njot goin to snap on me when say doing a bump? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cultiv8ed ::Chris:: Posted September 19, 2005 Report Share Posted September 19, 2005 it won't be the steerer tube to go it will be the drop outs. I can say that even if your a really light rider they will still break in peices because they are made of magnesuim. As it has happened to me before. chris Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mr Motivator Posted September 19, 2005 Report Share Posted September 19, 2005 Br3n (trialsmad) has some with a disk. They look cool, long, funky, different (Y) Get them if you have the money. If you have even more money, you could get the coust beta carbon forks if they ever bring them out :) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Waynio Posted September 20, 2005 Report Share Posted September 20, 2005 yewe cant go off anything cultiv8ed chris says he abuses the system!!!!! hahahaha they are nice to ride on and if they are shorter they are less prone to flexing, dropouts only snap if you use the incorrect rotor size or throw the bike around. they wont snap at the steerer BUT could possibly twist at the crown iv been told as the crown is the weaker part as it is really light. this is what pace instructed me and i havent had a problem with mine apart from running a 203mm rotor on them and snapping the dropout off (Y) i will bash them back on my bike and make a vid with them on, front touch and stuff is great on them the only thing i wouldnt be as confident doing would be hooking, but i will try and see what happens.

Matt_Tupman Posted September 20, 2005 Report Share Posted September 20, 2005 (edited) Caleb is posting the pics for me now (Y) thats if all goes to plan there not Pace forks bur still rather odd, I don't know much about them, only that they were made in 2001 for a year and that they were made by USE for Pashley.

Bionic Balls Posted September 20, 2005 Report Share Posted September 20, 2005 aren't there a pair of those on ebay....? adam Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mark W Posted September 20, 2005 Report Share Posted September 20, 2005 Get them if you have the money. If you have even more money, you could get the coust beta carbon forks if they ever bring them out (Y) They aren't, so you're f**ked :) If they did, they'd be well over £600. It's Goldtec they were made by too (also known as Betd though - run by Jason Carpenter too I believe, but I think they focus on different products...).

Tony Harrison Posted September 20, 2005 Report Share Posted September 20, 2005 But they're not Pace forks though. They're USE forks with the Pashley crown on them. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Whiteboy Posted September 20, 2005 Author Report Share Posted September 20, 2005 sexual matt! they high? as high as your pures? i want osme hehehe Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
UrbanLegend Posted September 20, 2005 Report Share Posted September 20, 2005 Avoid USE forks like the plague! They were discontinued for a reason! The flexiest forks known to man, completely unsuitable for a trials bike unless you do nothing on the front wheel. I've actually seen the legs twist out of the crown using a disc. When I had a pair all those years ago I couldn't believe I had spent so much. Super lightweight, but dangerously flexy. Anyone experienced riders who have used them would agree I'm sure.

JIX Posted September 20, 2005 Report Share Posted September 20, 2005 You see thats what I thought. The guy has just said they dont flex though (Y) so either they are different or some one doesnt know what stiff forks are. And by the sound of it you had pure forks before and they flex flex flex.

Waynio Posted September 20, 2005 Report Share Posted September 20, 2005 Pace forks are actually real carbon not cnc alloy or what ever those forks are??? as the USE ones creaked like a mo fo!!! we had one pair in the shop and had more problems than what they were worth (Y) i think my pace ones weigh like 600grams :) normal sets are 700 n odd. Waynio..................... il try get some pictures at some point and put them up. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
